Composites blog launched, with opportunity to win an iPad2
Composites uptake is growing rapidly, according to Sandvik Coromant, with sectors such as aerospace, motorsport, automotive, marine and wind energy adopting ever greater ratios of composite parts per assembly due to the combination of high strength and light weight. While carbon fibre reinforced plastic is currently the dominant material group, metal matrix and ceramic matrix composites are seeing wider use in engineering applications.
While carbon fibre reinforced plastic is currently the dominant material group, metal matrix and ceramic matrix composites are seeing wider use in engineering applications.
To help engineers get a better idea of the benefits offered by composites, Sandvik Coromant has developed an online resource designed to help users share sharing on machining composite components. Designed to impart most things manufacturers need to know about machining and working with composite materials, the online blog allows users to ask questions and get them answered by their peers and Sandvik Coromant's team of experts.
Sandvik Coromant will also be asking visitors to the website to complete a brief survey, with an Apple iPad2 being given away to a lucky winner picking up a brand new Apple iPad 2.
