Module 4 :
Lecture 20 : Reinforcement Fibres for Composite Materials
 

 

Basalt Fibre

Raw material for producing basalt fibre is a rock of the volcanic origin. Fibres are received by melting basalt stones down at the temperature of 1400ºC. Melted basalt mass passes through the platinum bushing and is extended into fibres. Because of its wide range of temperature resistance from -260 0C to 8000C, basalt fibre products will outperform GFRP!
