Using Composite Materials
Composite materials are increasing with popularity on a regular basis. Innovators are constantly coming up with great new ways to use composites. Composites are a lighter and stronger alternative to many materials. They are being used in so many ways and have become so popular that JEC Composites hosts a composites show all around the world. International buyers and suppliers come to the event to see what new innovations are being manufactured. The show is a great platform for composite autoclave manufacturers like ASC Process Systems. Companies like these get a chance to showcase their products and demonstrate their software advances.
Not only is composite equipment showcased, but brilliant advancements in composite materials are unveiled. One of the great innovations showcased at the 2011 JEC Composites Show was the Wind Explorer, a pilot vehicle with 2 seats. The car is an electromobile and its body is composed of carbon fiber composite, weighing about 440 pounds. The Wind Pilot has a range of 248.5 miles per battery charge. It was put to the test by being driven across Australia relying mostly on wind energy. The battery is charged by a mobile wind turbine and electricity is only used as a last resort. Lightweight innovations like this one are becoming more popular as we keep looking for alternate energy sources.
Composites are a man-made material composed of at least two chemically distinct components. One of the components is as material that serves as a matrix, by holding everything together. The other component serves as a reinforcement, in the form of fibers embedded in the matrix. The material that makes up the matrix can be ceramic, metal, or polymer. The reinforcing component can be materials such as; carbon fiber, glass fiber, boron fiber, or other mixtures. The only way to produce a composite is by combing two or more of these materials, not by any of the components acting alone. Fiber-reinforced composites can be stronger than steel and very light.
The autoclave is an industrial oven used to cure composite products during the manufacturing process. Autoclaves have been used in industry for decades. Composite material has increasingly developed as technology as advanced rapidly over the decades. Autoclaves provide even heat and pressure that can be controlled very easily. This helps to reduce voids no matter what the size or shape of the product is that's being processed. Composite autoclaves usually use gas pressurization with electric, oil, and gas heating systems.
When it comes to light weight structural components composites are the future. Composites are now being used for aerospace components where weight and strength are critical factors. These factors determine the development of aircraft for aerospace companies world-wide. The Boeing 787 is composed of more composites than any other Boeing commercial plane before it. Composites have been found to reduce maintenance in the high tension-loaded area of the fuselage. Composites also make up many of the things around us. Baseball bats, bicycle frames, bathtubs, and counter tops are just a few examples. No one knows exactly where the future of composites will lead us but, the possibilities are endless!
