- 2. INTRODUCTION New materials offer the promise of innovative applications in air transportation. one such new material is basalt fiber, basalt is a hard, dense, dark volcanic rock composed chiefly of plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine, and often having a glassy appearance. the name "basalt" is usually given to a wide variety of dark-brown to black volcanic rocks, which form when molten lava from deep in the earth's crust rises up and solidifies. basalt can be formed into continuous fiber having unique mechanical and chemical properties. Use of basalt fiber in air transportation, requires a better knowledge of many properties. the basalt fibers as reinforcing materials has to be examined in epoxy and polyster matrix.
- 3. OVERVIEW OF WORK ON BASALT FIBERS For many years, basalt has been used in casting processes to make tiles and slabs for architectural applications. additionally, cast basalt liners for steel tubing exhibit ver y high abrasion resistance in industrial applications. in crushed form, basalt also finds use as aggregate in concrete. More recently, continuous fibers extruded from naturally fire- resistant basalt have been investigated as a replacement for asbestos fibers, in almost all of its applications. in the last decade, basalt has emerged as a contender in the fiber reinforcement of composites. proponents of this late-comer claim their products offer per formance similar to s-2 glass fibers at a price point between s-2 glass and e-glass, and may offer manufacturers a less-expensive alternative to carbon fiber for products in which the latter represents over-engineering.

PROPERTIES OF BASALT FIBER Basalt fibers possess several good properties which make it possible to use them as a reinforcement in composites. •corrosion resistant, •strength, elasticity properties of basalt fibers considerably exceed mineral and glass fibers. •Due the elasticity of micro- and macrostructure, basalt fibers are vibration-resistant compared to similar products •Environmentally and ecologically harmless •free of carcinogens and other health hazards. •heat and sound isolation, •vibration damping, •High strength • High modulus •Corrosion resistance •High temperature resistance •Extended operating temperature range
