When are composites cost-effective?

When are composites cost-effective?

Composite materials are typically used in high-performance applications, which often makes people assume they’re more expensive than other alternatives. But that’s not always the case. In some situations, they can actually be the most cost-effective option depending...
Manufacturing Methods in Composites

Manufacturing Methods in Composites

What we commonly refer to as composite materials are formed by combining reinforcing fibers with a resin that is subsequently cured to obtain the final part. There are many techniques available to manufacture composite components, ranging from very simple to highly...
How to Enhance Quality Control in Composites

How to Enhance Quality Control in Composites

Quality control in composites isn’t just important — it’s non-negotiable. Unlike metals, where properties come “pre-installed,” composites are created as you build the structure. That means every temperature shift, every ply, every gram of resin can make the...
Expert composites courses… but cooler

Expert composites courses… but cooler

Composite materials are becoming increasingly popular, and one of the factors limiting their growth is the lack of trained professionals who know how to work with them. At Managing Composites, we have always aimed to accelerate the expansion of composites and to...
Is Carbon Fiber Stronger Than Steel?

Is Carbon Fiber Stronger Than Steel?

Yes, carbon fiber is generally stronger than steel. Both its specific strength and absolute tensile strength generally are significantly higher than those of steel. Therefore, the short answer is that steel is stronger than carbon fiber in some ways — but that...
