The ability to integrate the application of multifunctional plastics in car body parts

 

No matter what kind of coating process is used for the surface quality of automobiles, the surface quality of the plastic parts of the car body must meet the requirements of Class A. Therefore, plastics must have good processing fluidity. In addition, in order to ensure the smallest possible gap size between parts under extreme temperature conditions, the thermal expansion coefficient of the body plastic parts must be small. If the body plastic part is used as the skin of the metal substrate, the quality of the appearance can only be guaranteed when the thermal expansion coefficient of the substrate and the surface layer are close. Generally, the coefficient of thermal expansion of thermoplastics is much larger than that of steel. Fillers are generally added to reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion. However, the addition of fillers tends to always reduce the surface quality. Fiber-reinforced thermosetting plastics can mostly meet the requirements of car body structural parts in terms of strength and rigidity, but its surface quality is often difficult to meet the A-level requirements. In addition, it is difficult to paint fiber reinforced plastics.

Another option to solve this problem is to use an injection compounding process, that is, a highly filled plastic and a colored high-quality film/sheet are compounded by injection. The composite parts produced no longer need to be painted and can meet the requirements of Class A surface quality. BASF cooperated with other companies to study the injection and compounding of long-fiber reinforced ABS with polymethyl methacrylate and ASA co-extruded film to produce the tail cover (luggage compartment cover) of the car; GE produced a polycarbonate co-extruded film. Extruded sheet (model: Sollx), which has been used in the production of body parts for mini-cars 2 Current status of the application of plastics on car bodies 2.1 Plastics for body parts are light in weight, good in processability, high in design freedom, and multi-functional The ability of plastics to be integrated in the application of car body parts is one of the most interesting aspects of plastics as a body material. Especially in today’s era where individualization is emphasized, the style of the car has a great influence on the customer’s desire to buy. The plastics currently used as bodywork mainly include sheet molding compound (SMC), reinforced reaction injection polyurethane (PUR-RRIM) and glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics. All three types use glass fiber reinforcement, mainly to meet the rigidity requirements of the car body.

Advantages of five-axis machining of aluminum alloy parts

Aluminum alloy is a very good material for parts. Its low density can achieve lightweight parts and its strength is very high even comparable to steel. In addition, its corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are very good. But there is a major defect that precision machining is very difficult, but the emergence of five-axis machining technology has solved this problem well. Today, let’s take a look at the advantages of five-axis machining of this aluminum alloy part. 1. Reduce processing time Table of Contents 1. Reduce processing time 2. Improve processing accuracy 3. High production efficiency In the processing, the flat-bottomed end mill is used to maintain the vertical surface of the complex mold processing surface, which can greatly reduce the processing time. It is also suitable for side milling with angled surfaces, which can eliminate the rib-like shape caused by the spherical end mill processing. The texture...

Elimination of Gear Backlash in CNC Machining Feed System

Elimination of Gear Backlash in CNC Machining Feed System   The transmission gear in the feed system of the CNC machining machine tool must eliminate the transmission gap between the meshing gears as much as possible, otherwise the motion will lag behind the command signal after each reversal of the feed system, which will affect the machining accuracy (accuracy) ). There are the following two common methods for CNC machining machine tools to eliminate the transmission gear gap.   1. Rigidity adjustment method   The rigid adjustment method is an adjustment method that cannot be automatically compensated for the tooth side clearance after adjustment. Therefore, the pitch tolerance and tooth thickness of the gear must be strictly controlled, otherwise the flexibility of the transmission will be affected. This adjustment method has a relatively simple structure and a better transmission rigidity.   (1) Eccentric shaft adjustment method   As shown in Figure 610, the...
