Introduction to Automotive Composites
Automotive composites are materials which are used to make a vehicle safer, lighter and more fuel efficient. Composite materials used in auto motives have several advantages over conventional steel. These composites are composed of high performance fibers such as glass or carbon in a material known as epoxy polymer which are combined together to provide enhanced properties. These composites don’t corrode or rust and gives excellent strength and stiffness. They are very light as compared to conventional steel which helps them to enhance vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
Automotive composites are widely used for manufacturing vehicles on account of rising stringent government regulations. The use of advanced automotive composites in the automotive industry is very limited on account of high cost of the raw materials. Carbon fiber has been extensively used in high performance vehicles to increase its performance by designing complex aerodynamic shapes which are used to reduce drag.
