Boron fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composite

Applications. Boron fibers are used as unidirectional reinforcement for epoxy composites in the form of preimpregnated tape. The material is used extensively, mostly in fixed and rotary wing military aircrafts for horizontal and vertical stabilizers, mdders, longerons, wing doublers, and rotors. They are also used in sporting goods. Another application is as reinforcement for metal matrix composites, in the form of an array of fibers pressed between metal foils, the metal being aluminum in most applications.
