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 leverage the strengths of each component to achieve superior strength, stiffness, lightness, or other desirable attributes. Their versatility extends across industries, from aerospace and automotive to construction and sports equipment, where their tailored design and exceptional properties offer solutions for high-performance applications.
Recycling in composites manufacturing is an evolving endeavor aimed at addressing sustainability challenges. Unlike traditional materials, composites often pose recycling complexities due to their multi-component nature. However, innovative techniques are emerging to tackle this issue. Methods like pyrolysis, mechanical recycling, and chemical processes are being developed to efficiently recover valuable components from composite waste, such as fibers or matrix materials.
New composites meet stringent fire requirements while lightweighting ships, rail cars and battery boxes for electric cars and planes.
New hires, appointments and promotions have been announced by KraussMaffei Corp., IACMI, French Oil Mill, IntegriCo, Exel Composites, ASM International and Revved Industries.
Mobility composites are expected to draw an international crowd to this annual Motor City gathering.
Tailored preforming has opened new doors in composites fabrication, but designing for it requires tools that understand and work with this complex process.
At Spirit AeroSystem’s Prestwick facility in Scotland, a glimpse of the future of aerocomposites manufacturing in a resin transfer molding line for A320 spoilers.
You will read more about what we discovered at JEC World 2018 in the coming weeks and months, but for now this is a quick review of some of the highlights from the world’s largest composites trade show.
Several recent IACMI partner projects focus on technology innovation related to challenges in noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) in vehicle design.
The SAMPE Student Bridge Contest is an international competition involving schools from around the globe.
The manufacturing world watched a decade ago as automatically placed thermoset composite tapes replaced aluminum in commercial airframes and made composites a household word in markets around the world. Has the time come for thermoplastic composite tapes to make a similar impact?
SAMPE returned to Seattle, WA, US, May 22-25 and featured the usual mix of conference presentations and exhibit hall activity. CW was there and offers this summary of highlights from the event.
