AERO 3020 TEST 4 STUDY GUIDE
Flox - Answers - Made of flocked cotton fibers and used for structure joints in composite
construction.
Thermoset - Answers - Use heat, or chemical reaction, and set the shape of the part
permanently.
Thermoplastic - Answers - Use heat to form the part into the desired state. If the part is
reheated, the part will change shape again. Can be reformed over and over.
Carbon - Answers - Black in color. Very corrosive when bonded with aluminum. It has
very good compressive and tensile strengths.
Micro-Balloons - Answers - Small glass balls, when mixed with epoxy it is a good filler
material.
E-Glass - Answers - Most commonly used form of fiberglass. Known for its high
resistivity.
Interply Hybrid - Answers - A laminate made from two or more layers of different
reinforcing fabric.
Bidirectional - Answers - A fabric with major threads running in both the warp and fill
direction.
Kevlar - Answers - Yellow in color. Has its greatest strength on tension.
S-Glass - Answers - White in color. This form of fiberglass is 30% stronger and stiffer
than any other form.
Boron - Answers - Twice as strong as carbon in tension and compression. Very
expensive and almost exclusively used by the military.
Epoxy - Answers - The most widely used two-part resin system in the aerospace
industry.
Intraply Hybrid - Answers - A fabric made of two or more different fibers woven together.
Ceramic - Answers - A reinforcement material used in the areas of high heat.
Unidirectional - Answers - A fabric with major threads running in only the warp direction.
