Structural Parts With Fortii® Ace Application Data

Details

ForTii® Ace is the game changer in metal replacement. With a Tg of 150-160°C, this material offers linear and stable strength and stiffness at elevated temperatures. Excellent chemical resistance versus coolants (water/glycol), road salt, acid, mineral oil, transmission oil, etc.

Benefits

• Up to 50% weight reduction in comparison with metal
• Part integration and increased design freedom
• Easy and robust processing
• Potential applications: engine mount/bracket, transmission parts, structural oilpan, timing chain cover, actuator and EPS housing, etc.

Potential Applications

Envalior's polyamide-based UD tapes with endless carbon or glass fiber reinforcements are viable, lightweight alternatives to metals in several applications. UD tapes, tape-based 2D fabrics and crossplies are used in structural and semi-structural applications, as well as in the selective reinforcement of injection molded parts.

 

A demonstration vehicle door panel made by JLR from carbon fiber-reinforced PA410, as well as fabric sheets woven from the same UD tape (EU-sponsored ENLIGHT project). The UD tape products were thermo-formed and glued to make the panel, which is 60% lighter than state- of-the-art, steel-based designs, while still fulfilling safety requirements. The full composite door consists of structural panels and a tape-wound side impact beam over an extruded, permanent mandrel.

 

Maxion Wheels and Envalior successfully manufactured and tested (Rim Rolling Fatigue) thin-walled hybrid, steelcomposite automotive wheel-rim reinforced with UD tape (tape-winding) made from glass fiber-reinforced PA410. The hybrid wheel-rim is 2Kg lighter and 30% more fatigue-resistant than state-ofthe- art, steel design, whilst inert to road salts and battery acids.

 

A vehicle central-floor module from carbon fiber-reinforced PA410 made by FCA (EU-sponsored ENLIGHT project). The UD tapes based ply-books were thermoformed to the final shape. The composite part is 18% lighter than state-of-the-art, steel-based designs, while still fulfilling safety requirements. The composite strength and dimensional stability are not affected by the E-coating process, a requirement of BIW parts.

Timing Drive Systems Application Data

Details

For more than 20 years, Envalior has helped the world’s leading automakers improve the performance and efficiency of timing chain systems, wear guide faces, support arms, and related thermoplastic components through advanced material science. Envalior offers a full portfolio of durable thermoplastic materials formulated to reduce timing chain friction and improve efficiency. To protect the environment and aid regulatory compliance, Envalior offers letters of conformity for any grades with PTFE confirming they do not contain harmful PFAS or PFOA. In addition, Envalior offers superior PTFE-free solutions with best-in-class low-friction performance such as Stanyl® HGR3.

Benefits

The Envalior Weight Loss Factory utilizes unidirectional, continuous fiber-reinforced, thermoplastic tapes as the fundamental building block of such light weight composite materials. Our strategy extends well beyond just manufacturing the composite tapes. We also develop and specify processes such as Automatic Tape Placement (ATP), tape winding and tape-insert over-molding. and the necessary computer aided engineering (CAE) for part design and manufacturing process specifications. Envalior is active in the industry in specifying and standardizing composite material testing and quality specifications.   UD tape processes   UD tape manfucaturing process Tape winding of parts with rotational symmetry (cylinders, tubes, box-beams etc.). Automatic Tape Laying (ATL) (panels, sheets, etc.) ATL panels are thermoformed to net shape ATL panels are over-molded with structural features (ribs, etc.). Hybrid metal-composite construction (composite patches glued to metal).   Technology and support Design and CAE FEM analyzes (static & high-strain) Thermoforming and over-molding simulation UD tape winding and simulation Mold flow analyzes (injection-molding) In-house macro & micro structural analysis of UD tapes Material-modeling and micro-mechanics Micro CT scans (void content, fiber-filament orientation, fiber-matrix adhesion, etc.) SEM micrography Tensile, flexural and impact testing.
