Abstract
This paper presents a study regarding the obtaining, characterizing and mechanically testing a new laminar composite material, consisting of epoxy resin reinforced with basalt plain fabric.
The composites were obtained by manual lay-up, cross-link stage being developed by pressure molding in a hydraulic press. Rectangular plates were obtained and cut into samples with specific shapes, for the mechanical tests (tensile, three-point bending and compression). After testing, the fracture zone was analyzed using optical microscopy to observe the behavior of the composite following the mechanical stresses applied (fracture mechanism, voids presence and fiber delamination identification).
Due to the low costs and non-hazardous nature, basalt fibers can be a serious competitor in the production of laminar composites that could successfully replace ordinary glass fiber composites. The mechanical properties in tensile, three-point bending, and compression of epoxy-resin-impregnated basalt fiber composites are comparable and even exceed those of widely used epoxy-resin-impregnated fiberglass composites.
