Manufacturing of Kevlar-Mg AZ31B Alloy Sandwich Composite

Abstract

–In this research manufacturing of the Kevlar-Mg AZ31B sandwich composite is done. Sandwich is prepared using Kevlar fiber and Mg AZ31B alloy. This sandwich composite is manufactured by Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Moulding (VARTM) method. This method uses the vacuum and pressure difference causes the bonding of fiber- metal surface using epoxy resin. In this sandwich composite Mg AZ31B alloy act as core material and Kevlar fiber as a face skin. This fiber-metal sandwich composite will have enhanced mechanical properties than core material. Key Words:Kevlar, Mg AZ31B alloy, Sandwich composite, VARTM.
