Description

A Product and a Method of Making a Product The invention relates to a product and a method of making a product.
A known way of making a composite product is by vacuum bag moulding. The product is aid up in a one sided mould, and then enclosed in a flexible hag on which a vacuum is drawn to hold the parts together while the adhesive cures. Curing takes place in an autoclave. A product made in this way is generally of similar thickness throughout. A particular known composite product made in this way is an insert for the bumper of a car. The carbon fibre composite part replaces a part made of plastics material and must attach to the same fixings. The part is generally in a boat hull or shell shape, and is made with tahs to fold inwards over the cavity and he pierced. In this way a threaded shank can be received through the piercing in each tab to be received in a metal nut behind the tab and thereby fix the part on to the car.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a method of making a product comprising the steps of: applying ped ply to at least part of at least one surface of a composite body made of composite material; peeling off the peel ply from the said part or parts of the composite body; placing the composite body in a mould; moulding moulding material on to the said part. or parts of the composite body.
By moulding the moukling material, such as plastics material, on to the composite body, there is much less in the way of restrictions on the shapes which can be provided. In the case ol the prior part discussed above. the need In lorm tabs extending beyond the profile of the composite body can he avoided, and the manufacturing step of folding over the tabs can also be avoided, as an equivalent structure can be moulded. Furthermore, it has been found that using peel ply in this way is an easy, quick and reliable way of providing an excellent and consistent keying surface so that the moulding material attaches elTectively without areas of delamination. The peel ply can simply he peeled off manually by an operator.
S
The moulding material can be any suitable material but preferably is a plastics material, such as PU. The moulding step can he carried out by any suitable moulding process but preferably is carried out by injection moulding. This is simple and inexpensive.
The composite body may have a matrix of any suitable material such as p'astics material or resin material.
The composite body may be made from any suitable composite material, but in a preferred embodiment it is made from fibre reinforced composite material. The composite body may be made from any suitable fibre reinforced composite material such as glass fibre reinforced plastic, or Kevlar in a resin matrix, hut in a preferred embodiment the composite body is a carbon fibre composite. The fibre reinforcement may take any suitable form, hut preferably comprises woven fibres.
The composite body may take any suitable shape and may be a sheet or formed from a sheet. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes cutting the composite body from a sheet, and may include an operation to shape the composite body.
In a particularly preferred embodiment, the composite body is made from a preimpregnated fabric sheet. The ability to make a product using a preimpregnated sheet, rather than the known vacuum bag moulding technique, represents an enormous saving in cost and manufacturing complexity. Peel ply is known for use in vacuum bagging manufacture and is attached to a prepreg before vacuum moulding, and peeled off afterwards. Peel ply is not known for use with a ready made composite consisting of a prei mpregnated fabric sheet.
The moulding material may be moulded onto one or both sides of the sheet, but preferably is moulded on only one side of the composite body. The said part of the surface of die composite body may comprise one part or more than one part on only one surface of the composite body. The part may comprise the whole of one surface S of the composite body. In another embodiment, however, the moffiding material is only attached to the composite body at certain parts where it is required.
The product may include at least one fixing in the moulded material for fixing a product to another item. The or each fixing may be made of a different material from the moulding material and may for example be made of metal. The or each fixing may define a screw threaded bore to receive a threaded shank. In this way, mouldcd in fixings are provided. This makes assembly much easier than in the known product, where a separate nut is required to be located behind each tab.
IS Viewed in another way. the moulding material may include at least one element of a different material mouldcd thereinto, such as metal, and the or each element may be exposed at the surface of the product, and maybe a fixing.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a product comprising a composite body made of composite material, and injection moulded plastics material moulded onto at least part of at least one surface of the composite body.
An embodiment of the invention will now he described, by way of example, and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig 1 is a top plan view of a carbon fibre composite shell of a product in an embodinient of the invention; Fig 2 is an underneath plan view of the shell of Fig 1; Fig 3 is an undemeath plan view of the product of the embodiment; Fig 4 is an end elevation in cross section of the product at C-C as shown in Fig 2, with the fixings shown in phantom.
The product 10 of the embodiment comprises a carbon fibre composite shell 12 with a backing 14 of plastics matenal which mounts a plurality of fixings 16.
The product 10 is a bumper insert for a car. It is part of an options pack. which S replaces parts made of plastics or othcr materials with parts made of carbon fibrc composite to provide weight saving and a different cosmetic appearance.
To make the product, a blank to form the carbon fibre composite shell 12 is first cut out of a sheet of woven carbon fibre fabric preimpregnated with resin such as Cytec MTM57. Such preimpregnated sheets can be bought off the shelf as a roll. The cutting can he carricd out by an NC cutting machine.
The surface of the cut sheet which will be the inside surface 20 of the shell 12 is then lined with a layer of peel ply, such as the nylon peel ply available from Tygavac. An excess ol peel ply sheet is used, so that in at least one area there is an overhang ol peel ply.
The cut sheet is then placed in press, which presses the sheet into the desired curved, shell shape as shown in Figs I and 2. The press has heating elements to heat and cure the resin matrix of the carbon fibre composite material.
On removal of the composite shell 12 from the press, the overhang of peel ply can be grasped by a person who can then rip the ped ply off the shell 12. This leaves an evenly textured surface on the inside 20 of the shell 12 which provides a good key.
The shell 12 is then placed into a mould for plastics injection moulding. The outer surface 22 of the shell 12 is in contact with a first side of the mould, and the second side of the mould defines a cavity in the mould adjacent the inner surface 20 of the shell 12. A p'urality of metal fixings 16 are carried by the second side of the mould.
The metal fixings 16 are cylindrical and each defines an axial bore 24 which is screw-threaded. The mould mounts a plurality of studs depending into the cavity, and each metal fixing is screwed onto a stud. Plastics material, in this ease polyurethane, PU, is injected into the mould. The plastics material forms a backing 14 covering the whole of the inside surface 20 of the shell 12, and mounting the fixings 16. To remove the overmoulded product 10. the studs are first unscrewed from the fixings 16. and then the mould can he opened to eject (he product 10. Any flash is trimmed from (he product 10 after moulding.
As shown in Figs 3 and 4, the hacking 14 comprises a uniform thickness layer 30 over the whole of the inner surface 20 of the shell 12, and also defines four bosses 32.
Each boss 32 carries a fixing 16. Each fixing 16 is mounted in the boss 32 so that its flat end face 34 is flush with a notional surface including the rim 36 of the shell 12.
The flat end face 34 of each fixing 16 is exposed. In this way, the axial bores 24 of the fixings are parallel and are exposed to receive a threaded stud (not shown) to mount the product 10. Each fixing 16 can be made of any suitable material, and can be made from steel for example.
The hacking 14 also includes a block 38 which fills one end oI(he shell 12. The hlock 38 mounts a pin 40 extending away from the shell 12 beyond the rim 36 of the shell 12. The elongate axis of (he pin is parallel to the axes of the screw threaded hores 24 of (he fixings 16. The pin 40 acts as a locating aid when mounting the product on (lie bumper of a ear.
In this way, a product 10 can be made which has the appearance of carbon fibre, as the exposed surface, namely the outer surface 22 of the shell 12. is carbon fibre composite. but which can also be easily fixed to another part. in this ease a car bumper. by simple screwing. Even though the product 10 is lined with plastic, it is still lighter than the all plastic part that it replaces. Furthermore, it has exactly the same fixing strategy on the rear surface as the plastic part it replaces. so it can be fixed in exactly the same way, with no special or unusual assembly steps required.
