Composite Materials: Generalities
Composite materials are more and more frequently taking the place of metallic materials, as they offer advantages in weight, corrosion resistance and function integration. Through the use of examples, you will evaluate the suitability of using these materials in your applications. This will also enable you to master the basic knowledge of composite materials and to acquire technical vocabulary.
Objectives:
- Talk about the specifics of composite materials
- List the advantages and disadvantages of these materials
- Describe the main manufacturing processes of composites
- Identify specific applications for composites.
Date:
10th – 12th May 2023
Time:
15:00 – 18:00 (GMT+8) Singapore / 09:00 – 12:00 (GMT+1) France
Pre-requisites
None
Skill Aims
The skills that trainees should develop within their company by implementing the knowledge and expertise acquired during the course.
- Participate in technical discussions on composite materials,
- Have technical discussions on the choice of a specific composite material as well as the associated implementation process
Who should attend:
Project managers, research and process staff and anyone that would need to discuss with field experts (technical sales, buyers, technical secretaries, quality control).
