I need to create a product in composite which has a similar strength to 6mm stainless steel. It's the two steel "plates" in the image attached
Any ideas on the type of layup best to achieve that? It'll be infusion. I appreciate about laying the weave in opposing directions per layer etc, it's more the weight of layup to use as in number of layers of 600 weight cloth. I'll need to put some aramid in it as well I think.

I would ensure the laminate is balanced either side of the core to prevent any warping or distortion.
You can seal the edge neatly with Black Epoxy Repair Filler or you can use some ProFinish Carbon Fibre Plain Weave 1k 90g folded around the edge of the soric. Just cut it into small strips, and wrap around the edge of the soric if you have a precise mould.
