The automotive industry is continually exploring innovative materials to enhance the performance and efficiency of vehicle components. The Automobile industry has shown keen interest for replacement of steel leaf spring with that of composite leaf spring, since the composite material has high strength to weight ratio, good corrosion resistance. Present study was to replace material for leaf spring.Traditional leaf springs are primarily made of steel, and while effective, they exhibit limitations in terms of weight, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. This analysis will consider the impact on overall vehicle weight, fuel efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Additionally, the corrosion resistance of the composite material will be assessed to ensure durability and longevity in diverse operating environments. From the static analysis and experimental results it is found composite leaf springs have lesser displacements and stresses than that of conventional steel leaf spring.A comparative study has been made between steel and composite leaf spring with respect to strength and weight.This survey is intended to be a far reaching source for design a leaf spring involving different composites as the Automobile ventures are showing strong fascination for supplanting steel leaf spring with that of a composite leaf spring to get decrease in weight, which is a compelling measure for energy preservation as it decreases generally fuel utilization of the vehicle.
