Abstract: Hybrid fabrics are represented by their excellent mechanical and structural properties as compared to conventional metals, which results in their increased functions especially for structural, aerospace applications, automotive, defense as well as sporting industries. In this paper the hybrid fabric (Jute, glass, carbon, Kevlar) composites are prepared by hand layup method and then vacuum bagging is used to avoid voids. The hardness, impact and machinablity test are performed by Rockwell hardness testing machine, Impact testing machine and Drill tool dynamometer respectively. From the results it has been observed that different parameter affects the hardness, toughness and machining of composites.
Keywords: Hardness, Machinablity, Impact Strength, Jute Fabric, Hemp Fabric, Kevlar Fabric.
Scope of the Article: Composite Materials
