Composite Materials

Introduction:

Many modern technologies require materials with unusual combination of properties that cannot be made by conventional metal alloys. This is especially true for materials that are needed for aerospace, satellites, submarines and other transportation applications.

We require materials those are stronger than steel, lighter than aluminum and stiffer than titanium. These anxieties can be contented by “composites”.

Composites are combination of two materials in which one of the materials, called reinforcing phase, is in the form of fibers, sheets or particles that are embedded in the other material called the matrix phase.
Thus a composite material posses a unique combination of properties, such as stiffness , strength, hardness, weight, conductivity &corrosion resistance etc. that are not possible by individual materials.
