## Mechanical properties (typical values, not certified minimums)

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile strength | ~600 MPa (quasi-isotropic) |
| Yield strength | — (anisotropic) |
| Hardness | — (laminate) |
| Density | ~1.55 g/cm³ |
| Machinability | ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) |
| Corrosion resistance | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |

## When to choose it

The design is flat-plate geometry where stiffness per gram decides the product — drone frames, robot arms, optical platforms. Quasi-isotropic layups give predictable in-plane behavior.

## When to look elsewhere

The part needs true 3D features, threads or aluminum contact: laminates delaminate at threads and milled pockets, dust requires extraction, and bare contact with aluminum invites galvanic corrosion — isolate fasteners.

## Typical applications

- Drone frames, arms and gimbal plates
- Lightweight robot arm and end-effector plates
- Optical breadboards and instrument platforms
- Motorsport and aerospace brackets
