Composite materials consist of one or more discontinuous phase (reinforcement) embedded
in a continuous phase (matrix), were foremost promising materials over the last thirty
years. The properties of composites are far superior to those of the two phases. The parts and
components made from the composite materials have been used successfully in everyday
products and sophisticated niche applications. They are used in many applications
as low weight and high strength materials. But, they should prepare with the cost
effective manner by innovative manufacturing techniques because it is a current challenge
for it.
Merits of Composite Materials
Some of the merits of composite materials are
- High specific strength and stiffness
- Long fatigue life
- Highest weight-saving materials
- Lower entrenched energy compared to other traditional metallic materials
- Less noisy during the preparation of the parts and components
