Current global trends demand the replacement of synthetic fibres with natural fibres in polymeric composites. The present work makes use of Prosopis juliflora, a plant that is a threat to the environment as a partial replacement in a hybrid composite. Individual Prosopis juliflora fibres are added to matrices at ratios of 12, 6, 9 and 8 wt % and glass fibres are added discretely at ratios of 28, 24, 21 and 32 wt % into matrices as well. The composites are prepared with four different combinations and tested in terms of the mechanical benefits and water absorption performance. This work exploits the mechanical advantage of impact energy in addition to producing Prosopis juliflora particles, fibre glass mats, and resin appropriate for structural uses. Water absorption tests are conducted for four different compositions. Among the four samples, sample 3 (9 wt % Prosopis juliflora fibres and 21 wt % glass fibres) has a higher rate of water absorption than the others, although sample 2 (6 wt % Prosopis juliflora fibres and 24 wt % glass fibres) has a lower rate. The difference in the quantity of water absorption between the hybrid composites can be attributed to the weight percentage of fibres. On the other hand, sample 1 (12 wt % Prosopis juliflora fibres and 28 wt % glass fibres) is reported to have absorbed 2.6 J of energy in the impact strength test. The increase in impact strength is attributed to the increase in the weight percentage of glass fibres. A scanning electron microscope is employed to study the fractured surfaces of the composites. This study shows that the developed hybrid composite could be employed in structural and automotive applications because of its improved impact strength and water resistance.

The structural components in the aeronautical industry require CFRP/Ti6Al4V stacks to be processed together, which results in poor hole integrity due to the thermal properties of the materials and challenges related to processability. These challenges include quality variation of the machined holes because of the limitations in process properties. Therefore, a novel solution through helical milling is investigated in the study using nano fluid based minimum quantity lubrication (NF-MQL). The analysis of variance shows, for Ti6Al4V, eccentricity (PCR = 28.56%), spindle speed (Ti) (PCR = 42.84%), and tangential feed (PCR = 8.61%), and for CFRP, tangential feed (PCR = 40.16%), spindle speed (PCR = 28.75%), and eccentricity (PCR = 8.41%) are the most significant parameters for diametric error. Further on, the rise in the circularity error is observed because of prolonged tool engagement at a higher value of tangential feed. Moreover, the surface roughness of Ti was reduced with an increasing percentage of MoS2 in the lubricant. The spindle speed (37.37%) and lubricant (45.76%) have a potential influence on the processing temperature, as evident in the analysis of variance. Similarly, spindle speed Ti (61.16%), tangential feed (23.37%), and lubrication (11.32%) controlled flank wear, which is critical to tool life. Moreover, the concentration of MoS2 decreased edge wear from ~105 µm (0.5% concentration) to ~70 µm (1% concentration). Thorough analyses on process performance in terms of hole accuracy, surface roughness, processing temperature, and tool wear are carried out based on the physical science of the process for cleaner production. The NF-MQL has significantly improved process performance and hole integrity.

A detailed experimental investigation was carried out for the high‐velocity ballistic response of AA 1100‐H14 based carbon‐fiber metal laminates (FMLs). FMLs with different metal volume fractions and the same thickness of carbon‐epoxy fiber laminates were tested to examine the surface and internal damage. The ballistic performance parameters, namely % escalation in absorbed energy, specific energy absorbed, ballistic limit, specific perforation energy, first cracking energy, and global deformation profile, were studied and a comparison was drawn with pure carbons fiber reinforced epoxy composite laminates. Despite having greater thickness, pure carbon fiber‐reinforced epoxy composite laminates absorbed less impact energy than FMLs and failed catastrophically. For FMLs, the % escalation in the absorbed energy and the specific energy absorption kept increasing with the increasing impact velocity until the onset of perforation. Once the perforation started, both these parameters showed a decreasing trend. Thick FMLs absorbed a good amount of energy, leading to projectile recoil suffering minimal damage. The ballistic velocity, specific perforation energy, and first cracking energy on the front and rear face of FMLs layers showed an increasing trend. The minimum for the thinner and maximum for the thicker FMLs attributed to the large thickness and more metal volume fraction. Contrary to the large deformation of the impacting points, pure carbon fiber‐reinforced epoxy composite laminates showed very minimal deformation as compared to FMLs. The brittle nature of the epoxy resin resisted the deformation to a large extent leading to less energy absorption.Highlights High‐velocity ballistic response of AA 1100‐H14 based carbon‐FMLs was investigated. Ballistic performance parameters of FMLs were studied and was compared with carbons fiber reinforced composite laminates. The ballistic limit of FMLs showed a direct dependence its thickness and metal volume fraction. In the absence of any metallic layer, pure carbons fiber reinforced composite laminates absorbed less impact energy.
