How Bhor Chemicals is Helping The Aerospace Industry

HOW BHOR CHEMICALS IS HELPING THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY   15 Mar 2019            Bhor Chemicals Source : https://bhor.com/how-bhor-chemicals-is-helping-the-aerospace-industry/ Bhor Chemicals caters to many industries and markets like   Structural Rehabilitation ,  Products Engineering ,  Industrial Composites , and  Aerospace . The aerospace industry we serve consists of the commercial aircraft, military rotor-craft and space structures. The significant demands of the structural performance, operating temperatures, and reliability makes composites an ideal foil for manufacturing of the components for these core segments. The aerospace industry continues to be considered to be on the forefront in the usage of composite prepregs and high performance liquid resin systems for manufacturing of complex Aero structures like fuselage sections, satellite structures, engine nacelles, wing spars...

The Basics of Using Carbon Fiber Laminates

  22 Mar 2019          Bhor Chemicals Source:  https://bhor.com/the-basics-of-using-carbon-fiber-laminates/ If using carbon fiber composites was simple, it would have been more popular. But using carbon fiber materials takes much science and mechanical skill. Hence, to make things easier for you, today we are discussing the basics of using  Carbon Fiber Laminates . The Basics Whether you are working for a hobby project or trying to trick out your car, then first consider the reason you want to use carbon fiber for. Although carbon composite is quite versatile, still it can be comparatively expensive to work with and may not be the ideal material for the job. Carbon fiber has many benefits though. This material is amazingly lightweight, yet incredibly strong, and it has excellent mechanical properties. Carbon fiber is also quite trendy, this means that people may use it for the sake of using it. For instance, ...

What are "Prepreg's " ? Advantages and Disadvantages of "Prepreg's "

  9 Apr 2019          Bhor Chemicals Source:  https://bhor.com/what-are-prepregs-their-advantages-and-disadvantages/ "Prepreg" is a popular term for reinforcing a fabric which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system already includes a proper curing agent. Resultantly, a Prepreg is ready to get molded without adding any more resin. In order for the laminate and cure, it is necessary to use a combination of pressure and heat. Here we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of  prepregs. Advantages of Prepregs There are many certainly many advantages of prepregs. Here are a few: Prepregs have maximum strength properties.  In a hand layup, it is tedious to achieve 50% resin content. It means that the completed laminate weight is 50% fabric and the rest is 50% resin. The typical hand laminates, even when they are vacuum bagged, end up with a efficient amou...

TYPES OF FIBER REINFORCEMENT FABRICS

Source:  https://bhor.com/types-of-fiber-reinforcement/   19 Apr 2019          Bhor Chemicals There are many different types of fibers which can be used to reinforce polymer matrix composites. However the most common are carbon fibers and fiberglass. Read on to know more about the different types of fiber reinforcement. 1. Carbon (Graphite) Fiber Reinforcement Carbon fibers are much conductive, but have an excellent combination of high modulus and high tensile strength. Also they have a meagre CTE and thus they offer good resistance to high temperatures. Carbon fibers are mostly categorised using tensile modulus. There are five categories in carbon fibers which are generally used in composites: Low modulus Standard modulus Intermediate modulus High modulus Ultra-high modulus The exact cut-off in these categories may vary depending on the reference but generally, low modulus fibers have a tensile modu...

‘CARBON FIBER’ PROPERTIES, WHICH MAKES THEM SPECIAL!

S ource:  https://bhor.com/carbon-fiber-properties-and-its-use/ Carbon fiber’ also called sometimes as ‘Graphite fiber’. In today’s era manufactures are looking for material that has more strength and is lighter in weight to achieve greater safety and efficiency. Carbon-fiber-composites are the solution to these manufacturer’s requirements. Carbon-fiber’s have not only the highest compressive strength properties of all the reinforcing materials, but at the same time, it has a low coefficient of thermal expansion. and also high strength to weight ratio. As compared to steel which is mainly used in manufacturing, carbon fibers have lower density and more strength. Its density is very less as compared to Steel and other metals used in manufacturing. They are is composed of mostly carbon atoms that are in the form of several thousand long, thin strands of material.
