The new method expedites the creation of automobile components comprised of CFRP, or carbon fiber reinforced plastic. The material, which is both lightweight and incredibly strong, can be utilized to create automobiles that are both safer and more fuel-efficient. When used on upper body portions, it may help reduce a car's center of gravity, making it more nimble and thrilling to drive.
Nissan wants to use the new method to create CFRP parts in large quantities and offer them to customers in additional cars. In comparison to traditional techniques, the invention can reduce the lead time to produce such components by as much as 50% and the molding cycle time by roughly 80%.
Despite the fact that carbon fiber's advantages have long been understood, it is more expensive than materials like steel. This has impeded the mass manufacturing of CFRP-made automobile components in addition to making shaping the parts challenging.
Nissan came up with a fresh way for using the compression resin transfer molding process, which is currently in use. In the current process, carbon fiber is shaped appropriately and placed in a die with a little space between the upper die and the carbon fibers. The fiber is then filled with resin, which is then allowed to solidify.
Using an in-die temperature sensor and a transparent die, Nissan's engineers created methods to precisely recreate the permeability of the resin in carbon fiber while observing resin flow behavior in a die. A high-quality component with a quicker development time was the outcome of the successful simulation.
