Abstract

We manufactured the long fiber-reinforced thermoplastic prototype of under cover using in-line compounding technology, and investigated the formability, mechanical properties and durability of the prototype of under cover. We manufactured the injection mold for the prototype through injection molding analysis and consideration of weight reduction. We investigated the formability of the prototype by evaluating the residual length and dispersion of fiber, and also tested the mechanical properties such as flexural strength, stiffness and impact strength. We investigated the durability of the prototype by the Key-Life Test(KLT) method which is generally used for the automotive interior parts.

ILC 기술을 이용하여 장섬유강화 플라스틱 자동차 언더커버 시제품을 제작하고, 시제품의 성형성, 기계적성질 및 내구성을 평가하였다. 언더커버에 대한 사출성형해석과 경량화를 고려하여 시제품을 위한 사출금형을 제작하였다. 보강섬유의 잔존길이 및 분포도를 평가하여 시제품의 성형성을 검토하였고 굴곡강성 및 강도, 충격강도 등의 기계적 성질도 조사하였다. 자동차 내장부품 내구수명 평가 방법인 KLT(Key Life Test)법으로 내구성을 평가하였다.
