Abstract

In this study, the effect of mill scale as the filler with different weight percentage in carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites is investigated. The composites are fabricated with 0, 5 and 10 wt% of mill scale, respectively, using hand lay-up method. The mechanical performance of the composites is evaluated by tensile test, flexural test, inter-laminar shear stress and micro-Vickers hardness test. It is observed that incorporation of mill scale in composite increases the tensile strength by 2.40% (5 wt%) and 4.73% (10 wt%); flexural strength by 35.34% (5 wt%) and by 17.78% (10 wt%); ILSS by 44.40% (5 wt%) and 41.45% (10 wt%); hardness by 14.70% (5 wt%) and by 25.49% (10 wt%). The results reveal that mill scale as filler in composite significantly affects the mechanical properties. This work may provide a meaningful way to modify the conventional manufacturing methods in various industrial applications of CFRPs.
