Composite Assembly

Composite materials need to be carefully designed for assembly. They also need to be assembled in a certain way to maximise joint performance.
This course is designed to show you good practice for selecting joining methods and how to manufacture them correctly. The content is primarily practical, covering the use of surface preparation, bonding, and fastening with permanent and semi-permanent fasteners.
You will walk away from this course with confidence that you can choose suitable joining methods for your own composite assemblies and manufacture them to a high standard.
What we'll cover:

• Interpretation of Technical Drawings
• Drilling composite/metal joints
• Installing various types of fastener
• Surface preparation and bonding
• Hazarads and safety measures for assembly composites
