Composite Materials Manufacturing Processes

Abstract:

— Using Composite materials are growing more and more today and we have to use them in possible situation. One of the Composite materials applications is on the Airplane and aero space. Reduction of Airplane weight and more adaptability with nature are examples of benefit of using composite materials in aerospace industries. In this article process of manufacturing of composite materials and specially carbon fiber composite are explained. Advance composite materials are common today and are characterized by the use of expensive, high-performance resin systems and high-strength, high-stiffness fiber reinforcement. The aerospace industry, including military and commercial aircraft of all types, is the major customer for advanced composites. Product range now includes materials for low pressure and low temperature. Some using composite materials in aero space are as follow: Satellite Components, Thin Walled Tubing for Aircraft and Satellites, launch vehicle components and honeycomb structures.
