Impact Test on Laminate Composites of Carbon Steel (SAE 1042) Epoxy and Aluminium Alloy (6061- T6) At Room Temperature

Abstract

This research paper focuses on the laminate composites of carbon steel and aluminium alloy using epoxy resin. For making composite metal laminates, compression molding method is used.  Press is used for making sandwiched plates at 90°C for 155 seconds. Izod and Charpy Impact test were performed on the laminated composites and its parent material i.e., Carbon Steel (SAE1042) and Aluminium Alloy (6061-T6) to made a comparison with its composites and to investigate the suitability of the material for a specific application and in predicting its expected service life.
