Advanced composites are engineered materials consisting of a matrix reinforced with fibres, designed to achieve superior mechanical properties such as high strength-to-weight ratios.
Traditional materials often struggle to balance weight reduction, structural integrity, and cost-effectiveness. Advanced composites offer an optimized solution for these challenges, particularly in transportation sectors like automotive, aerospace, and marine industries.
Fibres embedded in a polymer or metal matrix provide the composite with enhanced stiffness and strength. The fibre orientation and matrix type can be tailored to meet specific performance requirements.
Manufacturing involves processes such as resin transfer moulding (RTM), vacuum infusion, and autoclave curing to bond the fibres with the matrix material. These processes require precision and controlled environments.
The build process typically includes fibre preparation, matrix formulation, layup, curing, and post-processing steps. Each step must be carefully managed to ensure optimal composite performance.
