Why Composite Materials are Tricky<\/h3>\n

First off, let’s talk about why composite materials are different from traditional materials like metal or wood. Composites are made up of two or more different materials, usually a fiber and a resin. This combination gives them some great properties, like high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. But it also means they can be a bit more delicate when it comes to installing fasteners.<\/p>\n

One of the main issues with composites is that they can delaminate. Delamination is when the layers of the composite start to separate from each other. This can happen if you use too much force when installing a fastener or if the fastener isn’t the right size or type.
