Chemistry in Place, Preventing/Containing Fires and Enbling Vehicle OCCUPANTS to Exit and Rescue Teams Evs Safly.

　　To meet various platform, Oem and National/Regional Requirements.

　　-UP and Production of HRC & RSquo; S Advanced Composite Components.

　　The Focus in this article is solely on the development of the battery cover.

　　The initial Goals Wee:

　　DEVELOP A LIGHTWEIGHT, 3D Composite Cover to Accommodate Four-Battery Modules for Midsize/Hybrid Evs and Two-Battery Modules for Compact/Plug-in Evs.

Use metal inserts to AssembL

Enable Battery COVERS to be Produced Fast Enough to Meet High-Volume Automotive Production (MINIMUM 100,000 Pieces Annually).

　　Seconds), supporting medium-to high-part-propuction volumes with minimal post-mold finish.

　　Helping Designs Optimize Parts for Mechanical Performance As Well As Moldability, Cost and Weight.

　　UD/CF-PREPREG. Multiple Grades of GF-and CF-SMC Materials Wee Evaluated by Researchers, Although only one type’s tas considered.

　　CF-SMC: 53 WT% Chopped Carbon Fiber in An Epoxy/Acrylate Matrix; SUPPLIED BY MITSUBISHI Chemical Corp. (Tokyo, JAPAN);

GF-SMC: 40 WT% Fiberglass in A Flowable Grade of Daron 8151 Pur/Up Resin; Resin and Compounding by AOC (Colllierville, Tenn., U.S.) and Fiberglass From Owens Cornin

) USING Chemical composition, non-flowable hybrid resin systems from aoc.

").

　　Decisions "

　　CHARGE COVERAGE of the Tool was approximately 90% Versus An Average of 60% for GF-SMC, Although that core base, mustEEMPERATURARTURITURITURITARTARTORTARID P.

　　That would then be further refined in future projects base on geometry, load cases, processability and performance requirements. "

　　System Added to the Cavity Side of the Tool, It Could as Easily have ben posted on the other size, adds huber.
