I. INTRODUCTION A. What is a composite Material?A broad definition of composite is: Two or more chemically distinct materials that when combined has improved properties over individual materials. The composites may be either natural or synthetic.
B. ApplicationThe glass-reinforced polyester has all the properties that make it ideal for this purpose and has become the standard material. Laminated plywood panels with thin layer of reinforced plastic are also widely used in truck trolleys. Various methods are used to produce them and the low cost, and the strength offered by the plywood that is attractive. They may not be as light as desired, but are found to be considerably more durable than conventional constructions, particularly under heavy duty conditions. There is also a growing market for products such as vans and trailers that are made from glass-reinforced plastic at competitive prices. Vehicles destined for consumer markets tend to be attractively designed, their appearance is different and the tools are easy. Mold reinforced plastic of the full size model of the piece are taken. The pattern can be made of wood, clay or plaster. The automotive sheet body is molded into molding molds paired with glass fiber or wick as reinforcements. Large and complex pieces can be produced and their reproduction can be made equally fast. Parts made using this technique generally have a uniform thickness, because the additional reinforcing fibers cannot be loaded easily or accurately. Composite molding materials are used when small rigid parts have to be made and are usually prepared by casting. The bulk molding compound is composed of polyester resin, glass fibers and filler. The strength is less than that obtained by other molding processes. The molding compounds may be prepared as continuous sheets. Due to the longer fibers and a high glass content, its strength is better than those made in the bulk molding method. Injection molding are used to some extent to produce materials that can be applied to structural materials. After the separate manufacture of parts by molding or other methods, the assembly of the vehicle body has to be made. Tools and accessories similar to those used in metal parts are used for drilling and drilling operations. The assembly of several parts is usually accomplished by adhesion, using resins that are catalyzed to cure at room temperature in a short time. A good bonding strength is achieved even without pressure, although fastening devices are required to locate the assembled parts correctly in relation to each other. High-build primers are used to give a high-gloss finish so that surface imperfections do not become obvious. Commercial aircraft applications are the most important uses of the compounds. Aircraft, unlike other vehicles, need to place greater emphasis on safety and weight. They are achieved using
