CompoSTRIKE Lightning Protection
for Airframe Structures
Three Common Problems
of Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) and Automated Tape Laying (ATL)

Porosity or
Trapped Air
During AFP or ATP process, a typical quality issue occuring is porosity or trapped air pockets. This affects the integrity of the construction
We have experience making robust tapes that enhance your quality
Tape Deforming During Placement
In the AFP or ATP process, a lot of pull force is applied to the tapes. This causes deforming (narrowing and stretching) of traditional materials and makes it hard to control the tape postioning
We have experience making robust tapes that give you a wide process window
Weight vs. Conductivity
Some engineers prefer plain metal foil to improve conductivity hence reducing lightning strike damage, other engineers prefer an expanded metal foil or mesh to save weight
We have experience making robust tapes containing plain metal foil or mesh layers
