Such as molding compounds (SMC, DMC, EMC) and prepares the various processing methods for fabrication of Products out of composite materials. KEY WORDS Composites, lightweight, Matrix materials, Reinforced composite, Applications of composites. INTRODUCTION The composite materials have got a widely applications in all the cutting edge ranges of Advanced materials as Aeronautics, Aerospace, Automotive, Boats, Sports, Parts, and Medical devices. As general definitions the composite materials has more versions, and once of then can be as a material composed by the combination of two or more materials a reinforcement elements and a Compatible resin binder (Matrix) to obtain Specific characteristics and properties. ‘‘The Composite Materials Two or more chemically different Constituents combined macroscopically. Properties of final Product should be significantly different than that of composite’’ The roles of matrix in composite materials are to get shape to the composite parts protect the reinforcements to the environment, transfer loads to reinforcements and toughness of materials, together with reinforcements. The aims of the reinforcements in the composites are to get strength stiffness and other mechanical properties, dominant other properties as coefficient of thermal expansion, Conductivity and thermal transport. As a Compression between Composites and metals the Composites materials are some Advantages. Light weight, High Specific stiffness and strength, Easy moldable, Easy bondable, good damping, Low electrical Conductivity and thermal expansion, Good fatigue resistance, Part consolidation due to lower overall system casts, Low radar visibility, internal energy Storage and releases. Such as disadvantages of Composites are the followings: Cast of materials, Long development time, Difficult Manufacturing time, Fasteners,Lowductility,Temperatureslimits,solvent or moisture attract, Hidden damages and damage susceptibility. All of these have made those composites to change more the metals, in Specials in aircrafts, Auto moves, marines, constructions, etc. The most Common types of composite materials is fiber glass, which is very strong, fracture readily if notched, and at compression, if back less easily. It can be protected from damage by encapsulating the fiber glass in a rein matrix, which transfers applied loads in the unified fiber, due to used it both for tension and compression. The most influences about the composite strength are get the arrangement of fiber glass, presented in figures. After the Nature of its matrix, the Composites are classified in Composite materials with Organic matrix Composite materials with metallic matrix, and Composite materials with ceramics matrix. In generally, the more Advanced structures Composite use fiber glass, Carbone/graphite, boron Kevlar (aramid) and other Organic materials, which emphasized the main properties as light weighthigherstrongandstiffnessthesestrengtheningeffect of fiber reinforcement in Composites are get by the percentage of fibers in (fiber-resin ratio), types of fibers and fiber orientation with respect to the direction of loads. thetermofAdvancedCompositesincludesa Special Technology,whereresin- matrix composite can include hybrids, which are mixture of fibers in various formsintheresinmatrixmaterial reinforcedwith high-strength, high modulus of fiber of carbon/ graphite, araimid, or boron, fabricated in Layers to from an engineering composites.

It’s used for combination of epoxy-resin matrix materials reinforced withmodulusfibers ofcarbon and fabrication in a multilayer from, assured a higher rigidity and strong structure. 2. MANUFACTURING PROCESSES OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS As an observation, can mention that in same Application of ADVANCED COMPOSITE MATERIALS the individual Layer may themselves be composites, usually fiber-matrix type composites fabrication have many processes someofthemost important processes are Hand and automated tape lay-up Resin injection, Compression molding Pultrusion. Filament winding. SANDWICHES: Which are multiple layer Structure materials containing a low-velocity Core between thin faces (skins) of composite materials. Other Classification of Composites processes can be after the process volume, which due to of two Categories: has low volume. 2.1 LAMINATING PROCESSES The Laminating Process is Large used at fabrication of advanced fibers and matrix materials of Composites to improve the processes it can be used a prepared materials, which is a prelim prenatal reinforced material with high Composite’s Property by fibers aligned parallel to each other. A Sample of product’s from is cut off by variety proceeding and the prepare material is fixed into desired Laminate geometry. The final work piece is achieved by curing the stacked plies under pressure and heat in an autoclave. Fig.1 Laminating winding The Graphite –epoxy Composite is cured at aprox180 andatpressureof0.7MPa,andforhightemperaturecompositesuchas 320 . The tooling is requested a mold following a part through the Lay-up and autoclaving process, as material tooling for fabrication of composites Lap-up aluminum steel electroplate nickel, a high- temperature epoxy resin system casting. 2.2 FILAMENT WINDING PROCESS A process for fabricating a composite structure inwhichContinuous,Reinforcements(filament,wire,yarn,tapeorother) either previously impregnated with a matrix material or impregnated during

VACUUME BAG MOLDING: A process of molding reinforced plastic in which sheet of flexibletransportmaterialsisplacedoverthelay-uponthe mouldand sealed. A vacuum is place is applied between the sheet and mechanically worked outofthelay-upandremoved bythevacuum, and the part is cured also bag molding. APPLICATION OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS: The market activity of advanced composite materials (ACMs) is concentrated mainly in three areas: Aerospace/ Aircraft recreational: and industrials. Automobiles and other miscellaneous applications constitute a relatively modest market.Major market activities of advanced composite materials for (ACMs) 1985 it appears that the demand for (ACMs) will grow by 15% annual during the next decade. At present the United States consumption represented about 60% of the total. Advanced ablative composite materials are used in re-entry vehicles for space explorations and also for fabrication of motor/ launch tubes for rockets’/missile/launch vehicles’, pressure gas storage vehicles, and nozzles in different rockets/space vehicles. Epoxy- graphite is most widely used for Structural applications (wings and tail sections pressurevesselsandseatrails)inF18 and AU-8B Aircraft. This also finds extensive structural applications in Boeing 757and 767 ailerons, elevators, rudders, and Spoilers, etc. Graphite – Kevlar – epoxy hybrid advanced composite materials are extensively used for wing/ body fairings landing gear doors and trailing – edge panels. The aircraft’s advanced design and composite constructions provided high strength lighter weight and less drag the aircrafts undertaking trails are. Future military aircraft are likely to used 40% - 50% (ACMs) and therefore, will be lighter with improved performance and will be considerably more fuel – efficient. All – composite motor blades of Swiss supper puma helicopter are fabricate using hybrid glass/carbon/agamid prepress and possess unlimited life,immunitytocorrosionandimpact,fail-safeperformance,de- icing capability and maintenance casts. CONCLUSION This paper has presented certain fabrication technique for composite materials and some applications of advanced materials the selection of adequate technique is given by types of composite applications, qualitypartssizeofproduction,casts,etc.The high property of composites and large applications of then led to chance the materials parts with composites in cuttingedges ranges of economy.
