Composite And Aluminum (Overheating To Tensile Test)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics and behaviour of composite and metal which is fibreglass and aluminium alloy, tensile strength especially. In the aircraft, the part produced by composite and aluminium material are such as wing, aileron, stabilizer, flap, even the fuselage which itself has made from this two materials. In this research, it will briefly explain and compared the properties and the characteristic between this material and also environment effect to this material. Specimens test will be prepared to look differential characteristic of this structure. The test such as burning test and saltwater trapping test is conducted to proof to the study. The discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of composite fibre glass material compared to the metal aluminium will be describe. The result will be show in graft and table content.
