HIGH STRENGTH, HIGH MODULUS GLASS FIBERS. PART 2
Abstract
The purpose of this investigation has been the study of glass compositions capable of producing glass fibers having high tensile strength-high modulus of the elasticity properties which are also low in density. Of the many compositions studied, those which have the best promise of meeting the required properties are located in the SiO2-Al2O3-BeO system. Compositions were developed in this system with tensile strengths of 680-715,000 psi, moduli of 14- 15 x 106 psi, and bulk densities of 2.41-2.50. Successful multifilament manufacture of glasses of this nature was demonstrated and unidirectional filament wound composites were fabricated and tested.
