- Abstract
Aim of our work is to investigate the experimental values of tensile, flexural, impact, compression flame rating test and thermal expansion test GFRP Composites Embedded with 13 layers of Glass fiber orientation as laminates. The laminates are prepared with orientation of (90° 45° 90° 45°30° 45° 90° 45° 30° 90° 45° 90° 45°) under Rule of mixture. Basically Metal, wood and alloys are used as electrical enclosures, junction boxes and battery Housings, Alloys are used to improve heat dissipation, insulation and weight reduction, however we incorporate the idea of replacing the metal ones with glass fiber sheet laminates. The result shows the significant improvement of flexural strength, tensile strength, less weight and no fire extinguish in the composite manufacturing laminates, from the obtained results it is found that Glass fiber reinforced laminates replace the existing electrical junction boxes.
