Forging using thermoplastic discontinuous CFRP

As experimental results, we will also introduce the appearance of the molded products and the molding load! We will also observe the cross-section of the molded products, such as the upper part of the ring groove.

We will introduce forging using thermoplastic discontinuous CFRP. As discontinuous fiber CFRTP, we used flat plates made by cutting unidirectional carbon fiber tape to a specified length and bonding them together, with the aim of clarifying the forming behavior and forming conditions for complex-shaped parts. As a result, the appearance of the formed product is shown in Fig. 6, indicating that filling was achieved up to the upper part of the mold, and a convergence point of the material was observed at the upper part of the lateral hole. 【Forging Forming Conditions】 ■ Upper mold temperature: 180℃ ■ Lower mold temperature: 160℃ ■ Die cushion load: 5kN (material surface pressure 16MPa) ■ Material weight: 45.5g ■ Material temperature: 280℃ ■ Control: Position control *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
