For the past decade composite materials has been widely accepted as a repair method for damaged gas and liquid transmission pipelines. Composite wrap can serve as an alternative to the traditional pipeline repair practices such as pipeline replacement or the installation of full-encirclement steel split sleeves. A carbon-fiber/epoxy composite wrap system has been developed to rehabilitate and restore original operational strength to corroded and eroded pipelines and piping systems. This system is a permanent, cost-effective pipeline repair technology, suitable for non-leaking defects such as pits, dents, gouges, and external corrosion. This composite wrap system has been widely used in China for rehabilitations of numerous gas and petroleum pipelines.

Fiber-reinforced plastics are known as advanced composite materials thanks to their high strength and lightweight features. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are one of the high-performance and high-cost fiber-reinforced polymer (FRPs) materials. They are used in several high-performance engineering applications such as motorsports, marine, aviation, energy and defense industry. The cost of carbon fiber is higher compared to many other materials, more competitive and cost-effective productions will spur the demand for composite parts exponentially. Thus, hybrid laminate composite containing carbon and glass fiber materials were manufactured as an alternative for CFRP materials. Because using glass fiber prepreg instead of carbon fiber prepreg will lead the material to become cheaper. However, machining of the FRP materials is still an important issue. For this reason, the present study is focused on the mechanical and machining performance of the polymer hybrid and carbon fiber epoxy composites.

In this study, the preparation and characterization of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites are aimed at today's increasing use of composite materials. In this study, composite materials consisting of unidirectional carbon fiber-epoxy resin were prepared and the effects of fiber inclination angle on layered epoxy composite materials were investigated using various characterization techniques. Composite materials were prepared by autoclave method. At the stage of characterization of prepared composite materials Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been applied for tensile, compression tests and characterization of fracture surfaces to determine the mechanical properties. Keywords: Carbon fiber,epoxy resin,polymer composite,mechanical properties.
