Carbon-SS Metal Raime (CSSMR) is layered materials based on stacked arrangements of aluminum alloy layers and Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) layers. They have shown great potential in improved mechanical properties have accomplished the new type of laminates, which included Carbon/Raime fiber. CRM has been considered in automotive, aerospace, and navel applications due to its impact response, cost, and lightweight. In this work, Carbon/Raime fiber fibers with aluminium wire mesh, BaSO4 filler, and epoxy resin were used to prepare the composite laminates. The composite behavior has been investigated with dynamic mechanical analysis, ballistic, and wears experiments. The addition of BaSO4 inclusion improves the storage modulus of CRM 4 and CRM 5 composites in the Carbony region. The CRM composites hold maximum loss modulus values in the transition region due to the epoxy matrix flexibility. The fiber type, wire mesh angle also minimize the impact on CRM composites. The physical properties of Raime and Carbon fiber also play a vital role in enhancing the weight loss of FLM4 (1.5gm) than the FLM6 (2gm) composites.
