The resin content of the prepreg of this mode is not special to be limited, but resin content is few more, and the outward appearance of the FRP that obtains is good more, and the reinforcing effect of supporting material is big more, thereby is preferred.Specifically, the volume content of the compositions of thermosetting resin in the prepreg is preferably smaller or equal to 45 volume %, more preferably smaller or equal to 40 volume %, is preferably especially smaller or equal to 35 volume %.
Lower limit about the volume content of the compositions of thermosetting resin in the prepreg if the content of compositions of thermosetting resin is very few, then can produce the situation that compositions of thermosetting resin can not be filled into each corner of FRP, so bad.Specifically, the content of compositions of thermosetting resin is preferably more than and equals 20 volume %, more preferably more than or equal to 25 volume %.
[manufacturing approach of FRP]
The manufacturing approach of the FRP of second mode is that the prepreg with this mode is placed in the shaping dies manufacturing approach of the FRP that close die heats, pressurizes and is shaped.As the not special restriction of shaping dies, even but metal shaping dies also is difficult to distortion because it applies high pressure, thereby be preferred.
For the also not special restriction of the temperature of heating, but high temperature can shorten curring time more, thereby is preferred.Be preferably more than specifically and equal 120 ℃, more preferably more than or equal to 140 ℃.But, if temperature is too high, then reduce the temperature of shaping dies will be very spended time, perhaps do not reduce temperature and when placing prepreg, owing to begin to solidify, resin does not arrive each corner of final shaping thing sometimes.Therefore heating is preferably smaller or equal to 200 ℃, more preferably smaller or equal to 180 ℃.For the also not special restriction of the degree of pressurization, but the situation of carrying out high-pressure forming can reduce the pin hole and the inner space of FRP on surface, thereby is preferred.Specifically, the pressure that puts on prepreg is preferably more than and equals 0.5MPa, more preferably more than or equal to 1MPa.On to be limited to 100MPa then enough.
Equipment, pattern for being shaped have no particular limits, but are to use its efficient of method of heating and pressurizing equipment of hydraulic type best, are suitable for the manufacturing approach of FRP of the present invention.The shaping dies that preferably has the enclosed system of common edge structure for the shaping dies of this moment.
Third Way
Below describe to Third Way of the present invention.
In the Third Way, provide can solve used continuous fiber FRP sheet material particularly as the superior prepreg and the FRP sheet material of the synthtic price index on the structure of outside plate, material, surface.
< prepreg >
[forming pressure]
For the prepreg of Third Way, for center line average roughness (Ra) with FRP sheet material smaller or equal to the surface of good quality of 0.5 μ m and have and can stand the long-term surface quality that uses, need be with more than or equal to 10kg/cm
2Forming pressure be shaped and continuous reinforcing fiber in fact soaked into the prepreg of matrix resin.
Insufficient pressure 10kg/cm during shaping
2The time, be difficult to form the surface of good quality.
[curring time]
In Third Way, in order to obtain being used for the FRP sheet material of the extra high means of transport purposes of cost consciousness, need be that 15 minutes or its are heating and curing with interior at curring time, and then be preferably 10 minutes or its in.In the present invention, so-called curring time is meant that prepreg is placed on the time of the state that applies the shaping temperature and pressure.
[fortifying fibre]
The fortifying fibre that can in Third Way, use is so long as continuous reinforcing fiber in fact, and its kind is just not special to be limited, and can use carbon fiber, glass fibre, aramid fibre, polyester fiber, boron fibre etc.Wherein, as the parts of airborne vehicle and automobile etc., can use the specific strength carbon fiber higher by optimum than elasticity.
The form of the fortifying fibre in the moulding material can use a direction draw neat fortifying fibre form, woven the form of fortifying fibre etc., not special the qualification.For example, in order to improve the aesthetic appearance of FRP, can the moulding material on the surface of the FRP fabric with fortifying fibre be strengthened, neat fortifying fibre etc. is then drawn in a direction in inside, and with a plurality of enhancing forms.
In addition, in this manual, so-called continuous reinforcing fiber in fact is meant the fiber that does not have the end in the inside of moulding material in fact.
In the prepreg of this mode, preferably use carbon fiber as fortifying fibre.Carbon fiber can use any that PAN (acrylonitrile) is, pitch is.The carbon fiber of PAN system is considered from the balance aspect of intensity, elastic modelling quantity, percentage elongation, and is more preferred aspect the making fabric.As the outside plate purposes, intensity and elastic modelling quantity are high more unreasonablely to be thought, but in order to make it have resistance to impact, preferred percentage elongation is the carbon fiber more than or equal to 1.4%.The percentage elongation of FRP is obtained according to JISK-7054, thereby is meant the tension failure strain strictly speaking.
[carbon fibre fabric]
Carbon fibre fabric forms fabric shapes such as plain cloth, twills, satin fabric with the continuous fiber state.Wherein, mass area ratio (the W g/m of the preferred carbon fibre fabric of fabric among the present invention
2) with the ratio (W/t) of thickness (tmm) in 700~1700 scope.
The fabric that is in this scope is called flimsy material, and is thinner by mass area ratio, has the structure of fiber diffusion.Because the fluctuating of the thickness direction of fiber is little, it can show high intensity and rigidity, makes outside plate lightweight more.And because fabric face concavo-convex little, thereby the surface quality of outside plate also improves, and the durability of FRP sheet material also can improve.In addition, the mass area ratio of fabric and thickness are measured according to JIS R7602.
And then when the blanketing fctor of carbon fibre fabric was in 90~100% the scope, the part that is only formed by resin was few; Face impacts characteristic outward when uprising; Resin shrinks and the concave-convex surface or the concavo-convex spot that cause disappear to thickness direction, obtains high mapping vividness, from but preferred.In running through impact, if also the sudden thing of imagination is the situation of small pieces, then preferred blanketing fctor is in 95~100% the scope.
The blanketing fctor Cf of carbon fibre fabric; Such as the spy open flat 7-118988 communique record, definition; Be the key element relevant with the size that is formed on the space part between textile yarn; When on fabric, setting area S regional, if the area that is formed on the space part between yarn for weaving purpose in the area S is set at s, it is meant the value by the following formula definition.
Blanketing fctor Cf (%)=(S-s)/S} * 100
In addition, because this fabric helps the surface rigidity and the surface quality of particular importance in the rerum natura of outside plate, thereby the position of this fabric preferably is near the superficial layer of plate.Have the carbon fiber of high rigidity through the top layer at outside plate, the surface rigidity of outside plate further improves, and lightweight becomes possibility.
Most preferred position is an outermost layer.And, if twin shaft then can also give outside plate unique appearance of fabrics property to perhaps three axially waiting multi-axial fabrics to be in outermost layer.And then the fabric that ties up to above-mentioned scope through the pass that makes mass area ratio and thickness is positioned at outermost layer, and it is very level and smooth that the surface of outside plate becomes, and is also very level and smooth when being provided with thin filming.
That is the mass area ratio of carbon fibre fabric (W g/m,
2) be in the above-mentioned flimsy material in 700~1700 the scope with the ratio (W/t) of thickness (tmm); Because concavo-convex, tortuous little along the thickness direction of fiber; Thereby the varied in thickness of the resin bed on make outside plate time surface is little, can obtain more level and smooth surface before covering with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc., after covering with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc.
In addition; If blanketing fctor is in 90~100% the scope, then the thickness direction at outside plate does not have the place that only is made up of resin, thereby this characteristic very important aspect durability of mapping vividness is improved; Practicality increases, thereby is preferred.
[fortifying fibre beyond the carbon fiber]
Among the present invention, except carbon fiber, can also be also with organic fibers such as inorfils such as glass fibre, alumina fibre, silicon nitride fiber, aromatic polyamides series fiber and nylon.Long fibre, short fiber, textile-like, the object of shim-like or the amalgam of these forms etc. through in carbon fiber or resin, disposing them regularly or brokenly can improve resistance to impact, shock absorbing characteristics etc.
Especially, its low price of glass fibre, the strength balance of compression/stretching is good.Glass fibre is meant with silica (SiO
2) as fibrous glass such as the so-called E glass of principal component, C glass, S glass, the optimum fiber diameter is the glass fibre about 5~20 μ m.Glass cloth can keep resin, thereby formability is good when improving rigidity.Suitable is that Measurement of Quality in Unit Area of Fabric is 20~400g/m
2Glass cloth.When being used for the top layer, if be 20~50g/m
2, then can not damage the aesthetic appearance of fabric, and can keep the transparency yet, thereby be preferred.
The consumption of glass fibre, when needing rigidity preferably smaller or equal to 50 weight % of carbon fiber, when needing resistance to impact preferably smaller or equal to 80 weight %.
In addition, organic fiber and be fragility, but toughness unlike carbon fiber and glass fibre that kind, it is a disturbing property, even have the crooked such characteristics that rupture that also are not easy.And synthetic fibers and carbon fiber be relatively the time and since have not can galvano-cautery like this, thereby it has the advantage that does not need the galvano-cautery countermeasure such.
Moreover, when organic fiber and glass fibre compare, owing to can burn, thereby have easily discarded such advantage; And then because proportion is the only about half of of glass fibre, thereby also has and to make the extremely such advantage of lightweight of parts.

In addition, the reason more than or equal to 20% be because, if less than 20%, then matrix resin soak into the difficulty that becomes, produce the space and may be bad aspect rerum natura.
The ratio of the matrix resin in the prepreg is 20~30%, when using epoxy resin as matrix resin, also can obtain sufficient anti-flammability even in epoxy resin, do not add fire retardant, thereby be preferred.
[surface roughness-center mean roughness (Ra)]
Its center mean roughness (Ra) with the surface of the above-mentioned resulting FRP of molding condition of the prepreg of this mode is smaller or equal to 0.5 μ m, and this low and low aspect of durability for the concavo-convex outward appearance that causes of FRP plate surface is necessary.Center mean roughness (Ra) is more preferred during smaller or equal to 0.5 μ m.Concavo-convexly can not eliminate through covering with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc., can be more remarkable.And, not only damage outward appearance, corresponding its size is concentrated at the stress on the top of recess can become big, destroy thereby advance, thereby concavo-convex little situation can improve the durability of outside plate.
In this mode; The roughness tester 178-368 (resolution unit 178) that the center mean roughness (Ra) on FRP surface is to use Japanese Mitsutoyo K.K. to make, with intercepting value: 2.5mm, measure interval: 2.5 * 5mm, scope: 5 μ m measure.Certainly, the FRP surface produces caused by the damage of metal die face concavo-convex sometimes, thereby will be with except such part and measure in above-mentioned mensuration.
[manufacturing process]
The prepreg of this mode for example through being cured as follows, can obtain the FRP flat board.
To have in advance when close die from mould inside can eluting gas but can suppress structure that resin flows out, surface accuracy is for more than or equal to the solidification temperature of mould temperature adjustment to the compositions of thermosetting resin of #800 or more than it; In this mould, put into the laminate of the prepreg that the above-mentioned carbon fiber by continuous constitutes; Close die makes the laminate of prepreg be full of the whole inside of mould and compression molding then.
And " can the eluting gas from mould inside when close die but can suppress the structure that resin flows out " that mould has generally can be enumerated the structure and the rubber sealing structure that are called as the common edge structure.
In addition, mould preferably has when close die or can make the structure of the inner degassing during just in close die.
As this degassing structure, have at mould inside hole to be opened/closed is set, it is open in the mould outside, is communicated with above-mentioned hole and with the container of pump to the inside degassing, opens valve when close die is inner, with methods such as mould inside one qi exhaustion gas through valve.
And then, after the shaping of FRP sheet material finishes,, also the mechanism with the demoulding of FRP sheet material such as ejector pin and air valve can be installed on mould in order to take out FRP sheet material easily.Thus, do not wait mold cools down just can easily take out FRP sheet material, thereby be suitable for a large amount of productions.In addition, the mechanism of the demoulding can be ejector pin, air valve or mechanism in addition, also can be known in the past any mechanism.
With S

2Be that (monoplanar surface is long-pending to be S in this mould for 0.8~1 state
2) (monoplanar surface is long-pending to be S to put into the laminate of the above-mentioned prepreg that is made up of continuous carbon fibre
1), depress can be extremely not mobile adding for matrix resin, thereby be preferred.The mobile meeting of matrix is flowed fortifying fibre, thereby it is concavo-convex that the FRP plate surface is produced.Concavo-convexly can not eliminate through covering with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc., can be more remarkable.And, not only damage outward appearance, corresponding its size is concentrated at the stress on the top of recess can become big, destroy thereby advance, thereby concavo-convex little situation can improve the durability of outside plate.
FRP sheet material can obtain through even covering with paint methods such as curing and demolding and then enforcement spray guns.Shaping contraction, the thermal contraction of the resin during owing to be shaped also can influence surface quality, thereby the shaping of preferred resin is shunk the circlet epoxy resins, sneaked into the low shrink resin of fillers such as talcum, glass granules and calcium carbonate.
Forming temperature is preferably high 10 ℃ or more than it than outside plate institute serviceability temperature, for automobile exterior panel, is 90 ℃ or more than it, and more preferably 110 ℃ or more than it is preferred from curring time shortening aspect when 130 ℃ or its are above.
[FRP sheet material]
The thickness of FRP sheet material is different because of purposes, but the situation of the outside plate of the means of transport that automobile etc. move on the ground preferably is in the scope of 0.5~8mm.If below this scope, anti-penetrability possibly have problem; If more than this scope, then light weight is insufficient.
Aloft the situation of the means of transport of operation because speed is faster, thereby is preferably the scope of 1~10mm.
In addition, sandwich structure, ripple struction or also be preferred scheme in the structure that the part of outside plate is provided with framework.
FRP sheet material for Third Way; Through using continuous carbon fiber as fortifying fibre; The high elastic modulus and the intensity of one of characteristics as carbon fiber be can show, can resistance, rigidity sense, intensity be realized with light weight as the necessary corresponding depression of outside plate.And owing to be continuous fiber, can obtain as the very important characteristic of outside plate is the anti-impact characteristics that runs through.That is, can obtain with the irrealizable lightweight of short fiber, rigidity and impact characteristics.Certainly, deformation drag, maximum load, addendum modification, energy absorption are also big.
And then continuous fiber has fabric shape, therefore with lamination the situation of the prepreg arranged a direction compare, though be the fortifying fibre of same amount, the anti-impact characteristics that runs through can be higher.Its principle is that fabric is the staggered similar netted structure of fiber, thereby can catch sudden thing.
And, fabric with lamination equate and the situation of the prepreg arranged a direction is compared in the rerum natura of 2 directions of one deck (individual layer) quadrature, just can constitute outside plate with few sheet number, thus more lightweight.For example, the outside plate of lamination if make 2 prepreg quadratures is then because the thermal contraction when solidifying can produce the outer torsional deformation of face that is called as saddle type.The outer distortion of this face is not from external force, can be produced by variations in temperature yet.Also can produce when in-plane stress acts on outside plate, thereby the outside plate distortion is lost shape, not preferred from outward appearance aspect, air force aspect.
And then, through with light weight and high elastic modulus, high-intensity carbon fiber as fortifying fibre, can make the outside plate light weight and have high mechanical properties, and, also superior aspect environment resistant.
[covering with paint]
FRP sheet material of the present invention can be implemented on the surface to cover with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc.Covering with paint will approach (being generally smaller or equal to 150 microns) than gel coat, and light weight.Through covering with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc., not only the selection branch of color but also characteristic is also many.Through selected suitable coating, can give characteristic or function that gloss or concavo-convex, low temperature and hot environment, resistance to water, the UV resistant environment etc. on surface only depend on FRP sheet material then can't have, produce practicality first as outside plate.
For example, be divided into the such situation of resin a little less than the UV resistant,, can give UV resistant characteristic as outside plate through implementing the superior covering with paint of UV resistant for the resin portion of FRP sheet material.Certainly, various outward appearances (cosmetic) also are fine, and it also is preferred from the outward appearance aspect, covering with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc.For outside plate, match colors from needs such as consideration grade and miscellaneous part to safety, can carry out delicate color matching through covering with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc.In addition, through covering with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc., moisture and light can not be directly incident on FRP, thereby can obtain environment resistant superior high durable outside plate.And covering with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc. also is preferred from the fluid resistance aspect.
In addition, cover with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc. thickness and be preferably 20~200 μ m.If surpass 200 μ m, then film and peel off easily, also not preferred aspect mechanical property and outward appearance.If less than 20 μ m, then light such as sunshine can direct incident, causes deterioration, and be easy to generate the coating spot, and is also not preferred from the aesthetic appearance aspect.The FRP outside plate of needn't gain in weight through being in this scope, both can forming, the durability aspect is also desirable.40~100 μ m more preferably.
Coating can be selected from following coating, and for example silicon/epoxy is synthetic resin coating and water-soluble resin coating such as cold coating, acrylic resin paint, ammonia ester resin paint, Polyester resin lacquer, epoxy coating, fluorine resin coating, cashew resin coating, phthalic resin coating, amino alkyd resin coating, phenolic resin coating, oil paint, oil varnish, NC Nitroncellulose nitrate paint, comprises the coating of priming paint surfacer, priming paint surfacer putty etc.
Coating roughly is divided into air dry or air drying coating, baking vanish, ultraviolet curing coating, electron ray curing coating of a liquid type, two-liquid type, mulit liquid type etc.And, according to coating method, can be divided into spraying with coating, roller coat with coating, flow coat with coating, brushing with coating etc.
In addition, for selecting of coating, preferably select with the good coating of the resin-bonding property of FRP and form.And, because FRP and its ultra-violet resistance of compared with metal are poor, thereby the preferred superior coating of weatherability.Specifically; Be the coating that is called sunshine barrier coating and ultraviolet isolating paint, have in the vehicle of pure acid acrylic acid ammonia ester with carbon black as pigment and to cooperate ultra-violet absorber or reduce telomer polyacid etc. and the coating that obtains, acrylic acid ammonia ester epoxy organosilicon coating, the fluorine that has added black pigments such as cobalt oxide, cupric oxide, iron oxide black be coating etc.Particularly for the situation of transparent coating, above-mentioned additive is indispensable.
Also have, preferably be dispersed with the electrically-conducting paint of conductive fillers such as carbon black or graphite, metal dust.Added the coating of the electric conductor of tin oxide or antimony oxide system; Owing to can form transparent conductive coat; Therefore; Situation or the purpose of utilizing the aesthetic appearance of carbon fibre fabric is that it is preferred electrically-conducting paint when giving the anti-static effect of the outside plate that the dust that can suppress to be caused by static and dirt be attached to automobile etc.
In addition, for the outside plate that is starved of the means of transport that arouses attention at night etc., externally to implement the luminous paint (luminescent coating) that JISK5671 put down in writing also be effective for a slab integral or a part.
Coating method covers with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc. except spraying (blow and attach) that (air gun with no air mode etc.), static are covered with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc. (electrostatic spray mode and spray gun mode etc.), electroplate and cover with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc. (cationic with anionic etc.), powder is covered with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc. (molten method, mobile impregnating method, the static powder covering with paint method etc. of penetrating), can also be suitable for known special covering with paint method.
Wherein, the FRP sheet material of this mode is because hear resistance is lower than metal, thus baking temperature smaller or equal to 120 ℃, with FRP as the static of anode cover with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc. be coated with aspect the attaching property superior, from but preferred.And because carbon fiber is an electric conductivity, thereby the static covering with paint also is the high preferred covering with paint method of coating service efficiency.
In addition, when implementing certain thickness covering with paint, preferred degreasing or the polishing of implementing in order to remove releasing agent in the surface of FRP sheet material.Through using non-silicon is that material can not need or reduce degreasing or polishing operation as releasing agent.The temperature of covering with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc. and the heat resisting temperature of outside plate are closely related, preferably near heat resisting temperature, cover with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc. drying.Automobile is with the situation of outside plate, and heat resisting temperature is about 100 ℃, and the baking temperature of coating is preferably 60~110 ℃ scope.And be about 3 minutes~60 minutes drying time.
The color of covering with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc. is determined by the color matching with miscellaneous part, but for the FRP outside plate of carbon fibre fabric as this mode of reinforcement base material, preferably carries out using the deterioration state of visual observations FRP part, the transparent coating of internal injury state.Owing to be transparent,, also have and make the effect that only the experienced third party of metal outer panel is produced the chance of use FRP outside plate so can hold the state of FRP exactly.Certainly, transparent coating also has the aesthetic appearance of utilizing fabric construction and the effect that improves commodity value.In addition, transparent coating can be all of outside plate, also can be a part.
In addition, the representative substances of clear dope is that silicon/epoxy is coating, acrylic acid series coating, but also can be amalgam, the alloy system of ammonia ester system or these coating, can also be colored transparent.
For carbon fibre fabric, the fabric of the structure that the ratio of mass area ratio and thickness is big suits.Covering with paint employing spray gun etc. can form the covering with paint method of filming of uniform and thin.The too thin or too thick tendency that the mapping vividness exist to be reduced if film, thereby to be preferably formed be suitable thickness.
[purposes of FRP sheet material]
The FRP sheet material of this mode can be used as the inside and outside plate of means of transports such as cart, automobile, hot-short, high-speed vessel, bicycle, bicycle, airborne vehicle.
Specifically; Be following purposes: cart panels such as motorbike frame, radome fairing, dashboard; Car panel such as car door, hood, tail gate, side mudguard, side panel, dashboard, trunk lid, top cover, side mirror lid, spoiler, diffuser, luggage carrier; Automobile component purposes such as engine cylinder cover, hood, chassis; Vehicles such as vehicle headstock, top cover, side panel, car door, chassis lid, side skirt are used the outside plate purposes ahead, and vehicles such as goods canopy, seat are with the aerofoil profile inner panel in indoor utensil, the aerofoil profile truck, outside plate, top cover, base plate etc., are installed in the gas components purposes of air disturbance device and side skirt on automobile or the bicycle etc.; Airborne vehicle purposes such as window frame, goods canopy, seat, base plate, wing, screw, body; The framework purposes of notebook computer, mobile phone etc., medical usages such as X ray box, top board, audio and video products purposes such as dynamic planar loudspeakers panel, diffuser; Golf balls, floral disc, skis, aquaplane, backplate (rugby, baseball, hockey, skiing etc.) sports goods purposes, plate clockwork spring, air vane, elevator general industry purposes such as (frame panel, doors).In addition, said sheet material is not only flat board among the present invention, also comprises the sheet material with curvature certainly.
Cubic formula
Below at length explain, and then the explanation of sentence and preferably creating conditions etc. is described to cubic formula of the present invention.
Provide in the cubic formula and used compression forming method can make the superior method of the superior formed product of fiber-reinforced composite material of high strength and aesthetic appearance at short notice.
(continuous reinforcing fiber is in fact soaked into compositions of thermosetting resin and the moulding material that forms)
The fortifying fibre that can in this mode, use can use at the fortifying fibre described in the Third Way, and its preferred example equally also is preferred in this mode.
The compositions of thermosetting resin that in cubic formula, uses gets final product so long as can be used as the known thermosetting resin of the matrix resin of FRP, can use any one of epoxy resin, unsaturated ethylene ester resin, bimaleimide resin etc. aptly.Wherein, if consider the mechanical properties of formed products, the mechanical property after the curing high and with the superior epoxy resin of the cohesive of fortifying fibre can the use of optimum ground.
In this mode; Also can replace above-mentioned moulding material, use the material that continuous reinforcing fiber is in fact soaked into thermosetting resin and at least one side surface and have that material that fortifying fibre to the short fiber shape soaks into thermosetting resin overlaps and the moulding material that forms.Soak into the material of thermosetting resin as fortifying fibre, can suit to use a material that becomes the fortifying fibre of 12~50mm to soak into to the severing that is commonly called SMC with above-mentioned thermosetting resin to the short fiber shape.
The fortifying fibre of short fiber shape is soaked into the material behind the thermosetting resin; Because the orientation of fortifying fibre is random; Thereby compare with the moulding material that only forms by continuous reinforcing fiber in fact; Have the advantage that FRP is easy to carry over the complicated shape with rib structure or bulge-structure, but have the shortcoming of mechanical properties difference.Therefore, compression molding can obtain having concurrently FRP both strong points, that mechanical properties is superior, that have complicated shapes such as rib structure or bulge-structure through overlapping both.
At this, soak into the thermosetting resin in the material behind the thermosetting resin as fortifying fibre to the short fiber shape, can use and the same resin of material that continuous reinforcing fiber is in fact soaked into behind the thermosetting resin, also can use different resins.
(mould)
In the manufacturing approach of the FRP of cubic formula, the preferred use has the mould that when close die, can keep the structure of mould inside airtightly.In this mode, mould is desired airtightly to be meant the moulding material of in mould, putting into abundant amount and to be full of mould that the thermosetting resin that when pressurization, constitutes moulding material in fact can not spill from mould yet.As the structure that keeps mould inside airtightly, the part that upper die and lower die in the time of can making close die (formpiston and former) contact adopts common edge structure (with reference to Fig. 2) or rubber sealing structure.So long as can keep the structure of mould inside airtightly, also can adopt known any structure.
In addition; The air that remains in mould inside during close die becomes the reason in the space of surperficial pin hole of FRP and FRP inside sometimes; But, if use mould, when the whole inside of mould is full of with moulding material with deaerating mechanism as mould; Through using deaerating mechanism to outgas, then can remove the air that remains in mould inside effectively.
As deaerating mechanism, can hole to be opened/closed (with reference to Fig. 3) be set at mould inside, open to the mould outside, pump perhaps further is set, reduce pressure.The degassing is through when pressurizeing, closing and carry out in the moment perforate that is full of the whole inside of mould with moulding material.
And then the shaping of FRP in order easily to take out FRP, also can be installed the mechanism that ejector pin and air valve (with reference to Fig. 3) etc. make the FRP demoulding after finishing on mould.Thus, do not wait mold cools down just can easily take out FRP, thereby be suitable for a large amount of productions.In addition, the mechanism that carries out the demoulding can be ejector pin, air valve or mechanism in addition, also can be known in the past any mechanism.
(manufacturing approach of FRP)
The method that obtains FRP to using above-mentioned moulding material and mould in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1A is that expression has been placed the figure of the state of moulding material at mould inside before the close die.In addition, 1 shown in a plurality of figure of this mode represent former, 2 expression formpistons; 3 expression common edge structures, 4 expressions hole to be opened/closed, the 5 expression tips (up and down) through air; 6 expression sealing gaskets, the air when A representes perforate flows into, and the air when B representes closed pore flows into.At first, with the solidification temperature of the thermosetting resin of mould temperature adjustment to moulding material or after more than it, put into moulding material at mould inside.
Subsequently, form through close die press molding material.Figure 1B is the figure of the state of expression close die.As shown in the drawing, thermosetting resin flows out to mould outside hardly, and moulding material is pressurized and be full of the whole inside of mould.
As noted earlier, the coil bending that produces during prepreg that compression molding is formed by continuous reinforcing fiber mainly is because the surplus of matrix resin flows.Therefore; In this mode, find; In order to suppress resin flow, (monoplanar surface of FRP is long-pending) the approaching long-pending moulding material of monoplanar surface that be to use the monoplanar surface of the inside when being formed with close die long-pending can obtain good effect; Specifically, can make continuous reinforcing fiber is in fact soaked into thermosetting resin and the long-pending S of monoplanar surface of the moulding material that forms
1The monoplanar surface of the mould inside during with close die is amassed S
2Ratio S
1/ S
2Become 0.8~1.If S
1/ S
2Less than 0.8, then fierce in the resin flows of mould inside, be easy to generate coil bending.On the other hand, S
1/ S
2Surpass at 1 o'clock,, then can cause the moulding material in closed mold obstacle or the formed products not enough if the circumference of moulding material exposes from mould; If moulding material is folding, then can produce the mixed and disorderly of fiber orientation.At this, so-called monoplanar surface is long-pending to be the surface area that has one of thickness 2 equal in fact faces at interval basically that constitutes formed products.
In addition, particularly obtain the situation of high-quality FRP, volume and height for moulding material also can use near formed products (shape of the mould inside during close die) person.Put into mould inside moulding material volume and volume that thickness is preferably formed products respectively 100~120% with 100~150% of thickness.
If put into mould inside moulding material the not enough formed products of volume volume 100%, then can not apply sufficient pressure to moulding material.On the other hand, if surpass 120%, then moulding material can flow out before obtaining the air-tightness of mould, thereby and not preferred.
The thickness of moulding material then is difficult to whole faces of moulding material are pressurizeed equably with respect to the thickness less than 100% of FRP, above 150% o'clock, thereby and not preferred.At this, the thickness of so-called moulding material and the thickness of FRP are average thickness separately.
In this mode, need be with the temperature adjustment in advance of above-mentioned mould to the solidification temperature of thermosetting resin or more than it.At this moment, the temperature of temperature adjustment is so long as by the solidification temperature of forming decision of thermosetting resin or more than it, can select better temperature according to the molding condition beyond composition and the temperature.
In the manufacturing approach of the FRP of this mode, the pressure when carrying out compression molding can be known pressure when carrying out compression molding, not special the qualification.Can be according to the decisions aptly such as shape of FRP.
