At present, at home and abroad, remarkable achievements have been made in the use of various high-performance composite materials with high performance and light weight, and carbon fiber composite materials are currently a new type of lightweight materials for domestic and international automotive industries due to their excellent physical and mechanical properties. One of the key research directions used has been widely used in the automotive field, which has promoted the transformation of the automotive industry.
Automotive body and chassis: Carbon fiber composites are lightweight and have the strength and rigidity to be the lightest material for the main structures of the car body and chassis. Using this material can reduce the body and chassis quality by 40%-60%. The laboratory of Xiamen LFT Composite Plastic Co., Ltd. has studied the weight reduction effect of carbon fiber composites. The results show that carbon fiber composites have a weight loss of about 50% compared to steel bodies.
Brake pads: Carbon fiber is applied to the brake pads because of its environmentally friendly and wear-resistant characteristics. Carbon fiber brake discs are widely used in racing cars, which can reduce the speed from 300km/h to 50km/h within 50m distance. At this time, the temperature of the brake disc will rise above 900 °C, while the carbon fiber brake disc can withstand 2500 ° C high temperature and has excellent braking stability.
The application of carbon fiber is one of the key research directions of lightweighting in the automotive industry. However, the cost of carbon fiber raw materials is high, and there are certain limitations. Therefore, in the application process, it is necessary to do computational simulation analysis and design research work, and take advantage of new materials. LFT-G's independent research and development and design and production methods help automotive OEMs solve the need to shorten the development cycle and reduce the cost of composite manufacturing, and improve the manufacturing of multiple functional composite solutions and metal hybrid structural parts for the automotive industry.
