    Fibre Reinforcement: Composites

    Uploaded by

    GUNNAJ SINGH DUGGAL
    Fiber reinforced composite is any material composed of two or more constituent materials with different physical properties. Fiber reinforced composites use fiber reinforcement materials like glass fiber, carbon fiber, or Kevlar fiber. The properties of these fibers that are important for composites include high strength, flexibility, cohesiveness, abrasion resistance, and elongation. Composites are used to strengthen vehicles by making them lighter and more durable. Common composite materials used in vehicles include carbon fiber, Kevlar fabric, epoxy resin, glass fabric, and chopped carbon fiber. These composites are used in vehicle parts like the belly pan, hood, steering components, body panels, and powertrain.

    What Does Fiber Reinforced Composite Mean?

    Fiber reinforced composite is any building material composed of two or more constituent
    materials with individually different physical properties.

    PROPERTIES OF FIBRES

    Fiber properties are essential thing to know for various end uses and the products made from it qualify on
    the basis of certain parameters.

    The various properties are-

     High fiber length to width ratio - A pre-requisite for processing of fibers into yarns and fabrics is
    that their lengths must be more than widths. The minimum length to breadth ratio is 100:1

     Tenacity (adequate strength) - the strength of textile fibers is referred to as their tenacity. It is
    determined by measuring the force required to rupture or break the fiber.

     Flexibility or pliability -Fibers should be flexible or pliable in order to be made into yarns and
    thereafter into fabrics that permit freedom of movement

     Cohesiveness or spinning pliability - It is the ability of the fiber to stick together properly during
    yarn manufacturing processes.

     Luster - It refers to the sheen or gloss that a fiber possesses. It is directly proportional to the amount
    of light reflected by a fiber

     Elongation and elastic recovery -The amount of extension or stretch that a fiber accepts is
    referred to as elongation.

     Resiliency - Resiliency refers to the ability of a fiber to come back to its original position after being
    creased or folded.

     Electrical conductivity - It is the ability of a fiber to transfer or carry electrical charges. Poor or low
    conductivity results in building up of static charges.

     Abrasion - The wearing away of a material by rubbing against another surface is called abrasion.
    REQUIRED COMPOSITES & WHERE WE USE IT

    We can strengthen the comprehensive performance of the vehicle by making it light in weight and
    imperishable

     Kevlar fabric(unidirectional)- Kevlar is a heat-resistant and strong synthetic fiber

     Carbon fibre sheet- Carbon fiber) is one of the strongest and most lightweight materials
    available on the market today.

     Woven carbon fibre fabric(unidirectional)- Woven Carbon Fiber. Carbon fiber typically
    comes in the form of a woven fabric, which makes it easier to work with and can give additional
    structural strength depending on the application

     Epoxy gelcoat and hardener-These are the hardener substances which we mix and
    achieve the required hardness quality

     Carbon fibre powder - black filler powder made from finely ground carbon fibers. It can
    be added to casting resins, tooling resins, thermoplastics, paints, adhesives and coatings
    to improve tensile strength, dimensional stability and electrical conductivity.

     Glass fabric - is a material consisting of numerous extremely fine fibers of glass.

     Chopped carbon fibre -these are used for tthermoset and thermoplastic products. It is
    used to increase strength and stiffness properties, as well as electrical and thermal
    conductivity.

     High temperature sealants - High-temperature silicone sealants can withstand


    temperatures as high as 600 degrees Fahrenheit and are resistant to aging, vibrations and
    shock.

     Carbon fibre customized pipe – these possess the same properties as of carbon fibre
    but are highly mouldable and can easily be available in different pipes

    Places where we use composites- Belly pan, Hood, Steering, Body panel, Power-train, Arms
