THE KEY LIES IN THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF MATERIALS

Fibre composite materials consist of two main components: the fibres, which are responsible for mechanical strength and stiffness, and the matrix, which embeds, protects, and evenly distributes the loads across the fibres.

Used Fibre Materials

Their success secret lies in the combination of high specific strength, low weight, and excellent resistance to environmental influences. The selection of the right fibre plays a crucial role, as it significantly determines the mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of the composite material.

OUR PROCESSES

With our diverse processing techniques, comprehensive material knowledge, and application expertise, we offer tailored solutions for customer-specific requirements.

Winding Process

The winding process enables the production of extremely resilient and lightweight components through the targeted application of fibres to rotating cores. Thanks to precise control, complex structures and optimally adapted material properties can be achieved. Maximum stability, minimum mass.

About the Winding Process

Prepreg Autoclave Process

The process stands for precision and maximum performance: prefabricated, resin-impregnated fibres (prepregs) are processed under pressure and heat in an autoclave. The result is components with excellent strength, low weight and a flawless surface – for the highest demands on quality and resilience.

About the Prepreg Autoclave Process

Liquid Impregnation Process

The process allows complex components to be manufactured efficiently and cost-effectively. Dry fibres are precisely impregnated with resin, achieving optimum material properties and high component quality. This process offers maximum flexibility in design and impresses with its strength and lightness.

Composite Materials for High-Performance Lightweight Solutions

Composite materials are among the most important materials used in modern lightweight engineering. By combining high-strength fibres with advanced matrix systems, components can achieve exceptional strength while maintaining a very low weight. These characteristics make composites ideal for applications that require maximum performance, efficiency and durability.

Depending on the application, you can use different fibre materials. By combining suitable matrix materials, you can tailor the mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties precisely to specific requirements. This enables optimized solutions for mechanical engineering, aerospace, automotive, medical technology and many other industries.

MURTFELDT develops and manufactures composite components for demanding technical applications. By combining material expertise, engineering know-how and advanced manufacturing technologies, we create components with outstanding strength, excellent corrosion resistance and long service life. At the same time, composite materials enable significant weight reductions compared to conventional metal designs, contributing to improved efficiency and performance.

Depending on component geometry, load requirements and intended use, different manufacturing processes such as filament winding, prepreg autoclave processing and other composite technologies are applied. This enables manufacturers to produce prototypes, custom components, and serial production parts with high precision and cost-effective efficiency.

From material selection and engineering to the finished component, MURTFELDT supports customers throughout the entire development process. The result is a tailored composite solution designed to meet the highest standards of strength, precision and lightweight performance.
