In recent years, applications of chopped carbon fibre polymer composites have been rapidly increasing and the majority of the components made from these materials are subjected to cyclic loading. It is used for the structural parts of automobiles and aircraft due to their high mechanical properties such as light weight, high specific tensile strength, high modulus, and high specific stiffness, outstanding wear resistance, short moulding times and high recyclability. Among all composites manufacturing methods, injection moulding processes can properly control the process and ability of different volume fraction by weight percentage of chopped carbon fibre and nylon 66. It was observed from manufacturing methods that improved processability, high time efficiency, good compatibility and interface of the composite materials.Strength is calculated by rule of mixture method for chopped carbon fibre reinforced nylon 66 composites compared to carbon steel. For 30% chopped carbon fibre reinforced nylon 66 composites optimum tensile and flexural strength are observed. Similarly, for 60% chopped carbon fibre reinforced nylon 66 composites optimum compression strength are observed. The weight of composites was found to be 5.54 times lighter than carbon steel. Further, FESEM results show that for plain specimens has no surface damage. During the tensile test, most of the fibres were pulled out and some of them break out due to fracture. During the flexural test, more severe damage to fragmented carbon fibres, crushed, delaminating between carbon fibres and matrix was observed. Similarly, during compression test, strong adhesion of bonding between the chopped carbon fibres and matrix occurs, due to higher compression force, resulting in no much damage but only small groves and voids.
