Machining composites
FRPs are not homogeneous, therefore •
several aspects affect their machinability:
Continuous Fiber•
Continuous ber can be combined with virtually
all resins. They are used for weaving, braiding,
lament winding applications, uni-directional
prepreg tapes and prepreg tow for ber placement.
Chopped Fiber•
Chopped bers are used in compression and
injection molding compounds to produce machine
parts. The nished products have excellent
corrosion, creep and fatigue resistance plus high
strength and stiffness characteristics.
