| Abstract: | The research on coir-polyester composites initiated the interest in the development of woven coir fiber-reinforced polyester composites. The mechanical properties of woven coir-polyester composites were evaluated as per ASTM standards and the machinability behavior was studied by conducting drilling tests in this investigation. The woven coir-polyester composites exhibited the average values of tensile, flexural and impact strength of 19.9 MPa, 31.3 MPa and 49.9 kJ/m2 respectively. The effect of NaOH treatment on the improvement of mechanical properties of woven coir-polyester composites were studied in this investigation. The 40 % increase of tensile strength, 42 % increase of flexural strength and 20 % increase of impact strength were achieved by treated woven coir fiber-reinforced polyester composites. The regression models for predicting thrust force, torque and tool wear in drilling of woven coir-polyester composites were developed and the effect of drilling parameters were analyzed. |
