AMT 2106 Flashcards
The term composite is used to describe two or more materials that are combined to form a structure that is much stronger than the individual components.
Composite Structure
2 composite elements
Matrix and Reinforcing Materials
It is a solid form that provides the primary structural strength to the composite structure when combined in a matrix.
Reinforcing Materials
It is generally in a liquid form that serves as a bonding substance.
Matrix
This manual was developed by the aircraft manufacturers that include information prepared for the AMT or technicians who perform work on units, components and systems while they are installed on the airplane.
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
a chemical additives that quicken cure, or chemical reactions.
ACCELERATOR
A material that is mixed into a two –part resin system to improve the properties of the systems.
ADDITIVES
A substance that is applied to two mating surfaces to bond them together by surface attachments.

ADVANTAGES OF USING A COMPOSITE
- High strength to weight ratio
- Flexible
- Can resist high vibrations
- Do not corrode
- Reduced wear
Reinforcing fibers provide the primary structural strength to the composite structure when combined with a matrix.
REINFORCING MATERIALS
TYPES OF REINFORCING MATERIALS
- FIBERGLASS
- ARAMID
- CARBON/GRAPHITE
- BORON
- CERAMIC
Is made from small strands of molten silica glass that are spun together and woven into cloth.
Fiberglass
What are types of Reinforcing Materials
- Fiberglass
- Aramid
- Carbon/Graphite
- Boron
- Ceramic
Is made from small strands of molten silica glass that are spun together and woven into cloth. Many different weaves of fiberglass are available, depending on the particular application.
Fiberglass
Advantage of fiberglass
Widely available low cost make fiberglass one of the most popular reinforcing fibers.
Types Of Fiberglass
- E - Glass
- S - Glass
- C - Glass
Usually characterized by its yellow color, light weight, tensile strength, and remarkable flexibility.
Aramid
It used to describe two or more materials that are combined to form a structure that is much stronger than the individual components.
Composite
It weighs more and has less strength than most other composite fibers.
Disadvantagef fiber glass
3 common types of Fiberglass
- E-GLASS
- S-GLASS
- C-GLASS
a chemical additives that quicken cure, or chemical reactions.
