【 摘 要 】

Pulverised fuel ash also known as fly ash is a very popular material as it is cheaply available and has good properties such as workability and provides a smooth surface finish. This paper deals with the fabrication of Glass-Epoxy composites having a composition of 60-40% with fly ash as filler. Fly ash is varied by 3%, 6% and 9% in volume. Since Fly ash is cheaply available this is an attempt to study the properties of the composite with the addition of fly ash. Tensile test, Bending Test and compression tests are conducted to find the mechanical properties of the material. The properties of the Glass-Epoxy composites are compared by varying the percentage of fly ash filler.
