Abstract
This paper investigates the interactions of process parameters along the process chain for the manufacture of a trunk-like injection-moulded component with local inserts of unidirectional thermoplastic tape. In contrast to the established technology for overmoulding continuous fibre reinforced thermoplastics with a high proportion of unidirectional fibres, the component design investigated consists of 99 wt% long fibre injection moulding material reinforced with a very low amount of strip-like inserts of 1 wt% carbon fibre tape. The design facilitates cost, CO2-e and weight reduction compared to a pure injection-moulded part. The process chain comprises laser-assisted tape placement, preforming of the inserts by local bending and finally overmoulding. Particular attention is paid to the effect of the consolidation quality of the inserts after tape placement on the fracture behaviour in two sections of the part, the radii at the bending sections, which are subjected to post-consolidation during preforming, and the flat sections, which are only subjected to potential post-consolidation effects due to overmoulding. The investigations are carried out by means of various bending tests and analysis of the morphology by means of micrographs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites is a fully peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on a broad range of today''s reinforced plastics and composites including areas in:
Constituent materials: matrix materials, reinforcements and coatings.
Properties and performance: The results of testing, predictive models, and in-service evaluation of a wide range of materials are published, providing the reader with extensive properties data for reference.
Analysis and design: Frequency reports on these subjects inform the reader of analytical techniques, design processes and the many design options available in materials composition.
Processing and fabrication: There is increased interest among materials engineers in cost-effective processing.
Applications: Reports on new materials R&D are often related to the service requirements of specific application areas, such as automotive, marine, construction and aviation.
Reports on special topics are regularly included such as recycling, environmental effects, novel materials, computer-aided design, predictive modelling, and "smart" composite materials.
"The articles in the Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Products are must reading for engineers in industry and for researchers working on leading edge problems" Professor Emeritus Stephen W Tsai National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan
