This research is based upon analyzing and comparing impact strength of hybrid composites reinforced with chromium alloy which is compared with Epoxy resin-chromium alloy laminate.material which was investigated in this particular research was three groups of hybrid composites namely, carbon fibre reinforced chromium alloy composite which is denoted as CfCr, kevlar fibre reinforced chromium alloy composite which is denoted as KfCr, glass fibre reinforced chromium alloy composite which is denoted as GfCr. control group composite is an epoxy polymer reinforced chromium alloy which is denoted as EpCr. The metal used here is chromium alloy metal of grade CrNi60Wti. Totally 20 samples were machined and tested for impact strength under selected parameters. The mean impact strength of the CfCr was found to be 13.200 J, the mean impact strength of KfCr was found to be 10.9450 J, the mean impact strength of Gfcr was found to be 7.9150 J and the mean impact strength of the comparative group EpCr was found to be 7.1800 J. The significance value among the four composites was found to be 0.002 (P<0.05). Within scope of this study, it is derived that overall impact strength and absorption energy of hybrid composite is fairly greater than that of conventional epoxy resin-chromium alloy laminate.
