Features: Advanced resin-based composite materials have been widely used in aerospace due to their excellent comprehensive properties. However, the cost of composites is far higher than that of metals, and high costs have become a major obstacle to the broader application of composites. Industrialized countries have invested significant human and material resources in researching low-cost composite technologies. After years of effort, a low-cost composite technology system has been preliminarily formed, primarily consisting of low-cost material technology, low-cost design and manufacturing technology, and use and maintenance technology. "Advanced Composite Low-Cost Technology" introduces the latest developments in low-cost composite technologies at home and abroad, covering low-temperature curing and radiation curing composite technologies, as well as RTM molding and automated winding and laying technologies. The application of low-cost material technology can significantly reduce energy consumption in composite manufacturing and eliminate additional costs caused by high-cost molds and auxiliary materials. The application of low-cost manufacturing technology can improve production efficiency and performance through automated composite manufacturing, reduce manufacturing costs, and achieve cost reduction by enhancing the use efficiency of composites. "Advanced Composite Low-Cost Technology" systematically introduces composite cost technology in China for the first time, providing guidance for the development of low-cost composite technology in the country. This book is suitable for professional technical personnel engaged in composite material research and students and teachers in composite material programs at universities and colleges.
