| Résumé : |
The trend toward electromobility only reinforced it : lightweight engineering has long been the focus of the automotive industry. Lightweight engineering has two positive effects on the sustainability of vehicles. A lighter vehicle consumes less energy for acceleration and frictional resistance. Moreover, fewer raw materials are needed for production which is another positive contribution toward sustainable mobility. |
| Note de contenu : |
- Weight reduction with composite sandwich structures
- Weight and cost savings
- Established and cost-effective in large, global markets
- Example applications in series vehicles
- Sandwich manufacturing process
- The challenge of HP-RTM
- Short injection times allow the use of cost-effective rigid foams
- Process control based on the foam core's compressibility
- Optimum resin choice
- Successful test series
- Composite sandwiches are mature enough to significantly reduce a car's weight
- Fig. 1 : Different fibre reinforcements : oriented continuous fibres (tissue/scrim, UD) provide excellent mechanical properties (press process manufacturing
- Fig. 2 : Sandwich construction increases rigidity/stiffness at the same weight
- Fig. 3 : Increased core density over 0.1 kg/dm^3 hardly offers additional stiffness advantages
- Fig. 4 : With comparable stiffness and rigidity, the sandwich is much lighter, thus requiring fewer expensive raw materials. Thickness (height) is higher in the sandwich
- Fig. 5 : Pressure-time graph for a HP-RTM sandwich process showing the internal mould pressures, resin curing/viscosity at 100°C, and foam internal temperature
- Fig. 6 : Schematic curing behaviour of Loctite Max 2 at 70°C mold temperature
- Table 1 : Exemplary applications of sandwich designs in series production
- Table 2 : Overview and evaluation of FRP sandwich production processes
- Table 3 : Resin systems and processing parameters for manufacturing of HP-RTM sandwich parts |
