Focuses on the most widely used
composite materials - fiber reinforced thermosetting
polymers. The primar types of matrix and reinforcement
materials, as well as the various forms in which
they are available, are featured in this program.
Ideal for educational and training needs.
Learn about numerous methods
of producing composite parts – manual
lay-up, automated lay-up, spray-up, filament
winding, pultrusion, and resin transfer molding.
See different ways parts are cured – at
room temperature, with heat assist, in heated-platen
presses, ovens, and autoclaves.
Learn about secondary fabrication
operations used on composite parts, including
cutting, machining, and drilling. The program
emphasizes the use of polished, sharp cutting
tools and coolant for prolonged tool life. See
how adhesive bonding and mechanical fasteners
are used in the joining of composite part components.
