Why Advanced Composites?
- Specific Strength
- Compressive Strength
- Shear Strength
- Tensile Strength
A wide range of material combinations can be used in composites, which allows for design flexibility. The materials can be custom tailored to fit unique specifications of each application. Composites also can be easily molded into complicated shapes. Composites pack a powerful one-two punch with their ability to be molded into complex shapes at a relatively low cost. This offers designers, engineers and architects a freedom not typically found with other competing materials.
Structures made with composites have a long life and require little maintenance. Composites have a substantially lower coefficient of thermal expansion, on the order of 15 times less expansion compared with aluminum. Many products made with composites, such as boats, have been in service for more than half a century. Composite structures have an exceedingly long-life span. Combine this with their low-maintenance requirements and composites become the material of choice for a host of applications.
- Resistant to Fatigue
- Reduced Maintenance
- Weather Resistant
Composites resist damage from weather and harsh chemicals that can eat away at other materials. That makes them good choices for applications that face constant exposure to salt water, toxic chemicals, temperature fluctuations and other severe conditions. Products made from composites provide long-term resistance to severe chemical and temperature environments. Composites are often the material choice for outdoor exposure, chemical handling applications and other severe environments.
Composites are light in weight compared to most woods and metals. Fiber-reinforced composites offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios, exceeding those of other materials. For example, carbon fiber-reinforced composites are substantially lighter, on the order of 70 percent lighter than steel and 40 percent lighter than aluminum. Producing parts that are light weight is critical to industries such as transportation, infrastructure and aerospace for a variety of reasons. Lightweight composites are easy to handle and install, can reduce costs on projects and help ensure adherence to regulations and standards. Lower weight contributes to fuel efficiency in cars and airplanes. And lighter objects, ranging from utility poles to bridge decks, are easier to transport and install.
