how are both cfrp and gfp made
glass/carbon fibres mixed with thermosetting polyyster resin and resin left too set
proerpties of cfrp
light weight
corrosive reistance
tough
hard
good comrpessiev strength
lwo thermal expansion
uses fo cfrp

when cfrp used
when cost not an issue
high eprfomance essential
comapred to alumnium and steel what is cfrp
stronger
comapred to glass fibres with with polyster resin what are cf
stornger
lighter in weight
issues with carbon firbes
high costs
long production times
what is glass fibres vs carbon
lower in costs
lay up process fo glass fibre
small profile of moudl made
iquid polyster resin mixed with hardner and is applied to mould
glass fibre in matt or fabirc laid on this gel coat
covered with reest fo resin
fibre layer is saturated
piece removed
shit cools or is heated to set
