As industries from aerospace to automotive and marine continue to rely on composite materials, a growing number of safety professionals and workers are asking the same question: are current workplace practices sufficient to guard against the combined chemical and particulate hazards that composites create? Composite production and repair bring together resin systems, curing agents and…

Metal matrix composites are moving from lab benches into real-world production as designers seek materials that blend metallic toughness with ceramic-like stiffness. Reporters and engineers note that Metal Matrix Composites are being specified for components where lower mass, improved wear resistance and thermal stability are prime concerns. But as industry adoption rises, manufacturers are confronting…
