Abstract: This study deals with the determination of mechanical and thermal performances of titanium oxide (TiO₂), alumina oxide (AO) and silicon carbide (SC) reinforced nylon 6 (N6) composites. The composites are prepared by injection moulding method by varying the weight percentages. The effects of adding TiO₂, AO and SC particles reinforced with N6 composites has investigated and result observed by tensile strength, impact and hardness test. The fracture surface morphologies have observed through scanning electron microscope (SEM) method. Thermal performances of N6 composites are reviewed by the thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The exploratory comes about to show that upon expanding the addition of TiO₂ (5 wt.%), AO (10 wt.%) and SC (5 wt.%) particles improved the tensile properties and thermal stability of the N6 polymer matrix composites. In addition, the impact strength and hardness properties escalate the expansion of SC (10 wt.%), TiO₂ (5 wt.%), AO (5 wt.%) content with N6. For substantiate the work, the composite gear has fabricated for industrial and vehicle applications.
