In recent years, the popularity of metal wire and fiber-reinforced hybrid composites has been increasing, especially due to their improved corrosion resistance, low density, high specific strength and increased flexural resistance. In this study, the flexural behavior of 16 and 50 mesh 304 stainless steel wire and glass fiber reinforced laminated composites was investigated. In both 16 and 50 mesh reinforced composites, the flexural strengths increased with increasing wire layer number (respectively for 16 and 50 mesh, 1-4 wire layer composites; 66.1, 78.9, 101.5, 121.9 MPa and 73.6, 82.3, 190.0, 214.7 MPa). While the strength against fiber decreased with 1 and 2 wire layers in composites prepared using 50 mesh wire, a decrease was observed in 16 mesh wire reinforced composites compared to fiber only in 1 wire reinforced composites. Among the composites, the highest specific strength value of 91.5 MPa/gr⸱cm-3 was found in the 4 wire reinforced 50 mesh composite. As a result of the study, it is predicted that the reason why 50 mesh 304 wire reinforced laminated composites have higher strength is due to the decreasing cross-section and density with increasing mesh number. With these developed composites, it is thought that it may be possible to use them especially in constructive parts that require flexural behavior.
