Composites Use in Aerospace | CompositesWorld
WEB4 days ago · Composites Use in Aerospace. Advantages of building aircraft structures with composites, compared to metal, include light weight, high specific strength, superior fatigue properties, damage tolerance and the absence of corrosion. In the 1950s, Boeing began using fiberglass in its 707 passenger jets, and at the time the material made up about 2% ...
Composite submersibles: Under pressure in deep, deep waters
WEBMay 10, 2017 · In 2014, submersibles manufacturer OceanGate Inc. (Seattle, WA, US) was coming off the successful launch of Cyclops 1, its steel-hulled, five-person craft, rated for underwater exploration to a depth of 500m. The company was set to embark on development of Cyclops 2, a five-person research-class submersible, designed for a maximum depth of 4,000m.
Carbon Fibers - CompositesWorld
WEB4 days ago · Carbon fiber is a high-performance reinforcement widely employed in composite materials due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness. Composed of thin strands of carbon atoms, these fibers are renowned for their incredible durability and resistance to various environmental factors. In composite applications, carbon fiber offers ...
Pultrusion: The basics - CompositesWorld
WEBFeb 20, 2020 · In a pultrusion process, fibers are pulled from a creel through a resin bath and then on through a heated die. The die completes the impregnation of the fiber, controls the resin content and cures the material into its final shape as it passes through the die. This cured profile is then automatically cut to length.
Composites Materials | CompositesWorld
WEB4 days ago · Composites Materials. Composite materials are engineered combinations of two or more distinct materials, merging their individual properties to create a new material with enhanced characteristics. Typically composed of a reinforcing phase (like fibers or particles) embedded within a matrix (often a polymer, metal, or ceramic), composites ...

Composites in aircraft fuselage — now and in the future
WEBAug 6, 2021 · The fuselage, comprising the skin, frames and stringers, is fabricated in sections, with each section manufactured by a different supplier. The forward fuselage section, including cockpit, is produced by Spirit AeroSystems (Wichita, Kan., U.S.). The section behind that is produced by Kawasaki Heavy Industries (Tokyo, Japan).
Polyester resins: The basics - CompositesWorld
WEBFeb 2, 2020 · It is usual to refer to unsaturated polyester resins as “polyester resins,” or simply as “polyesters.”. There is a whole range of polyesters made from different acids, glycols and monomers, all having varying properties. There are two principle types of polyester resin used as standard laminating systems in the composites industry.
Materials & Processes: Fabrication methods - CompositesWorld
WEBMar 23, 2016 · Composite fabrication processes typically involve some form of molding, to shape the resin and reinforcement. A mold tool is required to give the unformed resin/fiber combination its shape prior to and during cure.
