In the past fifteen years, aircraft manufacturers have been using thermoplastic composite materials as structural composite materials to improve their toughness and durability. The structural application of thermoplastic composite materials is widely used, from the door of the engine hanging frame to the front edge to the beams and brackets.
OEM manufacturers have recently shown increasing interest in thermoplastic plastic. Although there are many reasons for choosing thermoplastic composite materials, some key requirements have promoted this trend. The summary of the following three reasons mainly includes the following three reasons：
First, due to the production of automated solutions and extremely low gap thermoplastic devices, it can produce a thermoplastic structure with extremely low gap content without using high -pressure kettles.
Second, because thermoplastic plastic can be welded through induction or resistance welding, this provides a effective method for reducing weight and cost by eliminating fasteners.
Third, the changes in composite material fuselage have led to the demolition of metal structure brackets and the corresponding effects of electric puppets. Thermoplastic composite materials have excellent flame retardant and structural characteristics. Thermoplastic plastic also introduces cost -effective technologies (thermal molding or compression molding) to produce various metal brackets.
In addition, most new automated solutions require low gap rate thermoplastic pre -immersion, while low gap content is useful in efficient manufacturing automation tape solutions. Therefore, in this process, the original materials with inherent low gap rate and good impregnation silk beams are more popular.
