Abstract
The consequence of incorporation of titanium carbide (TiC) filler in diverse weight percentages on the mechanical characteristic of chopped basalt fibre-reinforced epoxy composites has been examined. The performance of the TiC filled and unfilled chopped basalt composites based on the hardness, tensile strength, interlaminar shear strength and impact strength are calculated as per ASTM standards. The outcome showed that the mechanical characteristics of TiC filled basalt fibre reinforced epoxy composites are better than unfilled composites. Mechanical performance for dissimilar configurations, point out that adding too much TiC content consequences in declension in energy assimilation capacity of the fibre and hence on the whole concert of the filler filled ones.
