Fixing to Composite Boards
Fixing to Composite Boards
(OP)
Hi, I am currently designing something that requires the use of composite boards and i was wondering if anyone had any tips to fix hinges to it (needs to be fairly close to the edge) as i have never used composites before. Any help would be much appreciated.

Glue, rivets and bolts are the most common joining methods. About the only ones that can't be used are welding or brazing.
NB: if you rivet, don't percussion rivet, squeeze or blind rivet instead. If you glue, make sure that the glue chemistry is compatible with the composite matrix.
