ABSTRACT
Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) are gaining popularity in the composites industry due to their high tensile and compressive strength, chemical stability, and outstanding mechanical and thermal properties. FRP has several uses in the polymer channel and beam building industries because of their high economic value. While basalt fiber reinforcement is an important feature in basalt-fiber-reinforced composites (BFRCs), and mechanical performance improves dramatically as reinforcement rises, the fiber–matrix interface is another crucial characteristic that dictates BFRC performance over time. In this work we study the characterization of basalt fiber composite material. The composite material stacking sequence was arranged in the top and bottom layers of 0–90° and middle layer of 45° orientation. The laminate was prepared by Fusion Deposit Molding additive manufacturing method, which has been operating on 4 bar pressure. In this curing time, the temperature will be generated due to the compression pressure. The second stage is testing for the tensile strength, hardness and inter lamination factor. Tensile fracture was studied in SEM and finally wear surface was carried out especially in the beam application.
