Natural fibre metal laminates are widely being researched for their mechanical properties and in the making of metal and polymer matrix composites. The hybrid metal–natural fibre laminate composites have largely improved mechanical properties and can withstand greater forces without failing. In this study, Aluminium 6082 is the metal chosen, and flax fibre is used to reinforce the Aluminium 6082. However, natural fibre and metal fibre have difficulty bonding with a polymer matrix to enhance their mechanical performance. Hence, alkaline surface treatment method is applied for flax and metal fibre to increase the adhesive strength of the material. Fabricate the treated and untreated samples using hand layup followed by compression moulding technique. The micromechanical performance including tensile strength and flexural strength of treated and untreated samples was investigated. It was found that untreated flax fibre-reinforced aluminium laminate does not have proper interfacial adhesion. The resulting fabricated sample with the treated exhibit there is an improvement in tensile and flexural properties and microstructural characterisation also examined and it showed the interfacial adhesion mechanism affected the improvement in the properties. |
