COMPOSITE BRACE SAVES WEIGHT, IMPROVES STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY © 2020, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) THE CHALLENGE A major US automotive OEM makes extensive use of lightweight composites materials. They realized they might be able to shave off even more weight and improve performance by replacing the aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if they could find a material with an exceptional strength- to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional rigidity, and superior fatigue strength. The composite material used to make this part includes a custom-formulated thermoset epoxy resin, which also has good corrosion and chemical resistance.
