The Benefits of Using Composites in the Automotive Industry

Composites are commonly used in the automotive industry to fabricate high-strength structural shapes.

 

Along with aluminum and steel as a main choice for the automotive industry, composite products are now widely used in the fabrication of vehicle superstructures. The bodywork of the commercial vehicles often consists of multiple materials to reduce its weight without having to compromise its physical integrity. Lower weight in vehicles provide many benefits: increased fuel economy, better braking, improved overall performance and durability of key components.

 

Automotive moldings have been manufactured from fiber-reinforced products as they provide the construction of lightweight and low-cost solutions for the rising industrial demands.

The core materials are commonly used in the automotive industry for their characteristics of light-weight, noise reduction, versatility and durability. Lower weight in vehicles provide many benefits that include increased fuel economy, better braking, improved overall performance and durability of key components.

 

The main properties of carbon fiber is its impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Beyond its advantages compared to aluminum, carbon fiber is five times lighter and ten times stronger than typical steel which provides to the application with lightness and high strength.
