This study is to examine the feasibility to make propeller blades intended for use in marine applications out of inexpensive, lightweight materials. Based on aberration, pliableness, perseverance, strain intensity packed up threshold, accessibility, and diaphanousness. Mechanical characterization of basalt fibre/epoxy was investigated. The results revealed that composite with 60% reinforcement exhibited with optimum mechanical property. The static analysis conducted to examine the advantages of composite materials for propellers in the marine industry, Epoxy/Basalt fibre is a fantastic invention. Epoxy/basalt fibre propeller with 60% reinforcement resulted in a lightweight propeller as contrasted to contemporary metal alloy propeller.
