hello everyone. i was wondering if you guys from easy composites could exlplain more about this, i´ve being wondering
about the uses and aplication of diferent types of Core Materials
sorry if it is a stupid question :/
im really curious about this, specially for automotive parts development, which ones/how/where they should be used

I would always bond inserts into the carbon,you could use a large diameter flat washer but inserts would be better .

We were thinking of using aluminium or steel plates as spreaders but even so, I'm still concerned about crushing a core material. Some sort of through-thickness insert (as in a crush tube?) is possible, or a top-hat bush, but obviously then you have the risk of the insert ripping out of the composite... or shouldn't we worry about that?
