Abstract	This research was done out to enhance the mechanical properties of polymer composites using industrial waste as a potential reinforcement in a carbon fibre polymer composite. Polymer composites possess good mechanical properties and high durability. They also have good frictional and wear performances after reinforcement. Blast furnace slag is one of the industrial wastes in steel industries which consists aluminos,silicates and calcium in different forms. This GBF slag was crushed and milled to 64μm size powder and introduced in carbon fibre polymer matrix. Carbon fibre is significantly stronger than steel in terms of strength to weight ratios. Carbon fibres are around 5–10μm in diameter. These features create the desired composites flexible in many Automobiles structural applications. Composites are fabricated successfully by hand layup technique. Physical and mechanical characterization like SEM, Hardness, tensile and Impact studies done, and results shows that 15% weight of GBF Slag has high strength compared with other composites in Automotive and Aerospace Applications.
