Whitepaper: Carbon for defense technology

The production of defense technology components is like a balancing act, as it is determined by the challenge of achieving the perfect balance between the factors of safety, durability, resilience, and lightness, as known at HINTSTEINER. Metals, such as steel and aluminum alloys, have long been considered the answer to the requirements of defense technology, but ultimately cannot solve the conflict between the aforementioned factors, as safety, resilience, and durability significantly come at the expense of weight. However, the reduction of weight is a key requirement in modern defense technology developments.

Industry leaders have already recognized this development and are currently relying on the innovation power of composites. Especially high-performance composite carbon is increasingly coming into focus due to its outstanding properties. Why it is worthwhile to choose lightweight constructions made of carbon in defense technology is explained in this whitepaper: HERE is the HINTSTEINER Whitepaper available for download.
