In the area of engineering, it is observed that in the area of automobile sector, aeronautic field the utilization of E-Glass fibre is more. In this project work the polymer based E-Glass fibre reinforced composite materials with different weight fraction of E-Glass fibres as reinforcement material and CE02 (cerium oxide ) powder particles are used as filler materials are developed namely Specimen-1RESIN 100% (Lapox L-12); Specimen -2 RESIN 60% (Lapox L-12); + EG 40%; Specimen -3 RESIN 60% (Lapox L-12); + EG 30%+CE02 10% Prof. Specimen -4 RESIN 60% (Lapox L-12); + EG 20%+ CE02 20%; Specimen -5 RESIN 60% (Lapox L-12); + EG 10%+ CE02 30%; Specimen -6 RESIN 60% (Lapox L-12); + CE02 40% and characterized according to ASTM standards like D-3039 for tensile, Wear test G-99 and Hardness test After fabrication of composite materials the different tests like Tensile ,Wear and Hardness tests are carried out at various conditions like a) specimens are without post curing (un heat treated) and b) specimens are with post curing (heat treated) at various temperature and the different tests like Tensile ,Wear and Hardness test carried out .1.The interesting thing is that from the experimental results it conclude that tensile strength of the above mentioned specimens shows that heat treated specimens will have good, high tensile strength and dominate the without heat treated specimens2. Hardness test is carried out for the different proportionate filled of cerium oxide and post curing is done and tested for the without post curing and with post curing. However the due to post curing temperature the strength got increased mean while increase in the cerium oxide percentage the strength also got reduced. 3.From the wear test result itis conclude that Specimen-1RESIN 100% (Lapox L-12); Specimen -2 RESIN 60% (Lapox L-12); + EG 40%; Specimen -3 RESIN 60% (Lapox L-12); + EG 30%+CE02 10% Specimen -4 RESIN 60% (Lapox L-12); + EG 20%+ CE02 20%; Specimen -5 RESIN 60% (Lapox L-12); + EG 10%+ CE02 30%; Specimen -6 RESIN 60% (Lapox L-12); + CE02 40% Wear rate of the above mentioned specimens shows that heat treated specimens will have weight loss more compare to the without heat treated specimens and also heat treated specimens will have Volume loss, Volumetric Wear rate and co-efficient of friction is more compare to the without heat treated specimens and also from the SEM images it is absorbed that due to every Repeated loading causes the generation of micro cracks on the wear specimens. From this project work it is conclude that post curing( heat treated) specimens will have good tensile strength wear properties and Hardness value compare to without post curing (un heat treated). Hence we will suggest the post curing (heat treated) specimens for automobile sector or aeronautic field.
