<p>A composite component, for example for use in ship building, comprises a composite panel 4 to which is secured a metal extension 2. The metal extension 2 has a groove within which a rib 28 at an edge region of the composite panel 4 is fitted. The groove has an interior width which is larger than the width of the mouth of the groove, to prevent separation of the metal extension 2 from the composite panel 4. The metal extension 2 enables the composite component to be secured to metal parts, for example for the hull of a ship, by welding. <IMAGE></p> |
