Conventionally, bumper beams for automobiles have mainly been made of metal. However, in recent years,
In order to improve the fuel efficiency and driving performance of automobiles, there is a trend to reduce the weight of various automobile parts, and it is difficult to meet this demand with bumper beams made of metal. Further, metal bumper beams have disadvantages in that they require complicated processing steps and require surface processing to prevent rust, resulting in poor productivity. Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly difficult for metal bumper beams to meet various constraints imposed on bumper beams from the viewpoint of aerodynamic resistance and design, such as increasingly complex shapes.

On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-240514 proposes a fiber-reinforced resin bumper beam formed by stamping using a stampable sheet. This is done by cutting a stampable sheet made of a laminate of reinforcing fibers aligned in one direction and a long fiber mat impregnated with thermoplastic resin into the size required for the bumper beam, and placing it in a mold.
This is heated to melt or soften and then compression molded. However, although bumper beams made by stamping using stampable sheets can reduce weight and improve corrosion resistance, they require a long molding cycle and require post-processing due to the formation of cracks. However, it is still insufficient in terms of performance and manufacturing cost. In addition, since a sheet-like material is originally used, it is difficult to process a bumper beam with a complicated shape or mounting holes, etc. Also, in a bumper beam with reinforcing ribs or bosses, it is difficult to process the bumper beam with holes etc. Since it is difficult to fill the boss portion with fibers, there are drawbacks such as the reinforcing effect as a rib or the function as a boss not being fully demonstrated.

In the bumper beam of the present invention obtained by molding as described above, the total content of reinforcing fibers must be 20 to 80% by weight (in the bumper beam), and the fiber-reinforced elongated structure (A) and the resin It is necessary to control the proportion of reinforcing fibers contained in composition (B) and the blending ratio of components (A) and (B) to satisfy the above conditions. If the total content of reinforcing fibers is less than 20% by weight, weight reduction and strength,
It is not possible to obtain a bumper beam that satisfies both rigidity and other requirements. In other words, if you try to reduce the weight, the strength, rigidity, etc. will be insufficient,
On the other hand, if you try to obtain the necessary strength, rigidity, etc., the wall will become thicker, making it impossible to reduce the weight. Furthermore, if the total content of reinforcing fibers exceeds 80% by weight, the moldability, appearance, etc. of the bumper beam will be significantly inferior. The total content of reinforcing fibers is preferably 30 to 70% by weight, particularly preferably 3% by weight.
It is 5 to 65% by weight.

In addition, in the present invention, in order to further reduce the thickness and weight of the bumper beam while maintaining strength, rigidity, etc., reinforcing ribs are provided on the back of the bumper beam, and within the range of not significantly increasing the weight of the bumper beam. It is also effective to bury a long object such as metal in a desired location by insert molding. Further, it is also possible to integrally mold a support for mounting the bumper beam or to provide a mounting hole. In the present invention, the material used to form the bumper beam has characteristics and is excellent in formability, so it is possible to accommodate fairly free shape design, including the points mentioned above.
