Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement of a resin transfer molding (hereinafter, referred to as RTM) molding method for forming a structure made of fiber reinforced plastic (hereinafter, referred to as F RP). Further, the present invention relates to an RTM molding method capable of improving the quality of surface properties or improving the fiber volume content (hereinafter, sometimes abbreviated as Vf) of an FRP molded article to be molded. .
- RTM resin transfer molding
- F RP fiber reinforced plastic
- Vf fiber volume content
- FRP has been used in various fields, but as a method of manufacturing an FRF structure, a prepreg is used to form a preform having a shape of a structure to be preliminarily formed, and then heat it at a predetermined temperature and a predetermined temperature.
- the so-called pre-predator / autoclave molding method of curing in an autoclave set to a pressure condition was generally used.
- RTM molding method used in the manufacture of FRP molded products such as panels and girder materials, structural members for aircraft and construction that require high strength, light weight, and low cost, and outer panels for automobiles Many methods have been proposed.
- a method of RTM molding a large FRP structure for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H12-145002
- an RTM molding method using a resin diffusion medium for example, US Pat. 0 52, 906
- a peel ply / resin dispersion medium is arranged on both sides of a reinforcing fiber base material composed of a laminate of reinforcing fiber materials, and these are formed into a molding die.
- Tool Place on the surface, cover the whole with a bag material, and provide a resin injection gate and a suction gate for depressurization inside the bag sealed with the bag material.
- the resin is injected from the resin injection gate while reducing the pressure, and the resin basically flows from the upper surface to the lower surface or from the lower surface to the upper surface of the reinforcing fiber base material. Then, the resin is impregnated into the reinforcing fiber substrate. After completion of the impregnation, the resin is cured at room temperature or in a heated atmosphere, and after curing, the bag material is peeled off and the molded article is released.
- the resin impregnation is basically performed on one side of the reinforcing fiber base, so that the thickness direction of the base is There is a limit to the distance that can be impregnated. Therefore, when the reinforcing fiber base material is too thick, the predetermined impregnation becomes impossible.
- the permeability is equivalent to the distance (thickness) at which the resin impregnates the substrate.
- the values, constants, and viscosity in the above formula vary depending on the type of substrate and resin, but the impregnation distance converges over time, and the viscosity of the resin rises over time In addition, the resin will gel before long, which limits the distance that the resin can be impregnated. If the reinforcing fiber base material has a certain thickness or more, it can no longer be completely impregnated by the conventional method. Was impossible.
- the design of the molded product is There is a problem that it is difficult to obtain smoothness. That is, the resin dispersion medium is configured as a member having a low airflow resistance and a relatively large degree of unevenness in order to enhance the dispersion performance of the resin.
- the resin-dispersed media having such relatively large irregularities is arranged and molded on both sides of the reinforcing fiber base material, the relatively large irregularities of the resin-dispersed media are also formed on one of the surfaces, the design surface. Will be reflected. As a result, the design is impaired, and irregularities are formed on the surface of the molded product, which may cause a problem that the aerodynamic characteristics and the like are deteriorated.
- the size of the unevenness of the resin-dispersed media affects the resin diffusion and ventilation performance.
- the unevenness (relatively large unevenness) of the resin-dispersed media for improving the resin diffusion and ventilation performance is increased.
- the irregularities (relatively small irregularities) of the resin-dispersed media for improving the surface properties of the molded article are in a conflicting relationship. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve both the improvement of the resin impregnating property and the improvement of the surface property of the molded article by the above-mentioned conventional method in which substantially the same resin-dispersed medium is disposed on both surfaces of the reinforcing fiber base material.
- molding using a thick reinforcing fiber base is particularly difficult.
- a reinforcing fiber base material is disposed on a molding die, and a resin dispersion medium is disposed on the opposite side of the molding die. Then, a matrix resin is injected in a state where the inside of the cavity is decompressed by suction and covered with a bag material such as a film.
- the flow path of the resin into the substrate is mainly such that the resin is diffused from the injection port toward the surface of the substrate disposed in the mold, and the diffused resin is impregnated in the thickness direction of the substrate. Road.
- the fiber volume content (Vf) of the reinforcing fiber base material is 55% or more in a so-called high Vf state, that is, the gap between the reinforcing fibers is reduced.
- Vf the fiber volume content itself of the final molded body
- the permeability of the resin into the molded body is poor. Therefore, in the case of a thick molded body with a plate thickness of, for example, 25 mm or more, the resin does not reach every corner of the molded body, and only a structure with a defect where the resin unimpregnated portion remains remains could not be manufactured.
- the resin has good permeability but the fiber volume content of the final molded product is low, so that the strength is low.
- the resin impregnation property and the fiber volume 'content Vf' are in an opposite relationship, and it has been difficult to achieve both the improvement of the resin impregnation property and the improvement of the fiber volume content.
- the reinforcing fiber base is configured in a laminated form of a plurality of reinforcing fiber materials, but in the thickness direction of the reinforcing fiber base, that is, the reinforcing fiber material is laminated.
- the flow resistance of the resin is generally high, and there is a limit to the reach of the resin impregnated in the thickness direction of the base material. Therefore, when it is necessary to increase the number of layers of the reinforcing fiber material, such as when aiming for 'high-strength product molding', it is necessary to completely impregnate the resin into every corner of the reinforcing fiber material laminate. In some cases, it became difficult to form a FRP structure having a certain thickness or more.
- an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned various problems in the prior art, to form a thick FRP structure with good resin impregnation, to improve the surface quality, or to improve the fiber volume.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an RTM molding method (FRP manufacturing method) that enables weight reduction and improved strength to be realized by improving the content.
- an RTM molding method comprises disposing a reinforcing fiber base in a mold, and providing a resin flow resistance on both surfaces of the reinforcing fiber base.
- a resin diffusion medium with a lower pressure and reduce the pressure inside the mold by suction.
- a resin is injected into the mold through the resin diffusion medium, and the injected resin is impregnated in the reinforcing fiber base material.
- the resin flow resistance of the first resin diffusion medium disposed on the second surface is set lower than the resin flow resistance of the second resin diffusion medium disposed on the second surface.
- the method is characterized in that the resin is impregnated in the reinforcing fiber base by sucking the resin through the second resin diffusion medium while injecting the resin (first method).
- the resin flow resistance of the resin diffusion media disposed on both sides of the reinforcing fiber base is intentionally given a magnitude relation.
- the resin flow resistance can be determined as a value corresponding to the measured flow resistance by measuring the flow resistance.
- Penneabil lty represented by the following equation is generally synonymous with resin flow resistance, its value may be used.
- the reinforcing fiber base material may be a single layer or a laminate of a plurality of reinforcing fiber materials, but the RTM forming method according to the present invention is particularly applicable to forming a thick material, that is, a thick reinforcing material.
- the present invention is mainly intended for a case where a reinforcing fiber base composed of a laminate # of a plurality of reinforcing fiber materials is used, since the base is suitable for molding in which a fiber base is impregnated with a resin.
- the resin flow resistance of the second resin diffusion medium is set lower than the resin flow resistance of the reinforcing fiber base.
- the resin flow resistance (air flow resistance) of the second resin diffusion medium is higher than the resin flow resistance (air flow resistance) of the first resin diffusion medium, the resin flow resistance (air flow resistance) of the reinforcing fiber base material is increased. Resistance), which is sufficiently lower than the It is possible to prevent the vacuum level in the base material from being lowered due to bad feeling, and to prevent the resin impregnating property from being impaired even for a thick reinforcing fiber base material.
- the resin flow resistance of the first resin diffusion medium is set to 1/3 or less of the resin flow resistance of the reinforcing fiber base, because the resin diffuses into the medium very quickly. Further, it is more preferable that the ratio be 1/10 or less, because the diffusion of the resin becomes faster. This ensures that the resin injected into the first resin diffusion medium has a sufficiently high diffusibility in the surface direction of the reinforcing fiber base, and the resin injected into the first resin diffusion medium is While being rapidly diffused in the direction along the surface, it is rapidly impregnated in the thickness direction of the reinforcing fiber base material. After satisfying the resin flow resistance of the first resin diffusion medium and the resin flow resistance of the second resin diffusion medium, the resin flow resistance of the first resin diffusion medium and the resin flow resistance of the second resin diffusion medium are satisfied.
- the flow resistance has a magnitude relation.
- a peel ply that can be peeled off integrally with the resin diffusion medium after molding is interposed between at least one resin diffusion medium and the reinforcing fiber base material.
- a peel ply that can be peeled off integrally with the resin diffusion medium after molding is interposed between at least one resin diffusion medium and the reinforcing fiber base material.
- at least one of the resin diffusion media can be left in the molded article without being separated from the molded article. In this case, no peel ply is required on the side where the resin diffusion medium remains.
- a porous sheet may be interposed between at least one of the resin diffusion medium and the reinforcing fiber base material.
- This porous sheet has a function different from that of the above-mentioned pillar ply, and is a sheet for suppressing the transfer of the unevenness of the resin diffusion medium to the reinforcing fiber substrate side while maintaining the resin diffusion function of the resin diffusion medium. It is. Therefore, the arrangement of the molded article on the design surface side is preferable.
- At least one of the resin diffusion media may be configured by providing a groove as a resin flow path on the inner surface of the molding die.
- the inner surface of the mold itself may be used as a resin diffusion medium without separately preparing a resin diffusion medium.
- the resin impregnation from both sides is started substantially.
- at least two or more resin injection gates are arranged on the upper part of the first resin diffusion medium, at least two adjacent resin injection gates are provided at the time of resin injection. Resin can be injected simultaneously from two places of matching resin injection gates or from all resin injection gates. While achieving rapid resin impregnation, suction through the second resin diffusion medium is performed at the same time as resin injection, so that the generation of resin-unimpregnated portions can be prevented.
- the present invention also provides the following RTM molding method from the viewpoint of molding a particularly excellent design surface. That is, in the RTM molding method according to the present invention, a reinforcing fiber base is arranged in a molding die, and a resin flow resistance of the reinforcing fiber base on a surface opposite to the molding die is higher than that of the base. And a degassing medium comprising a gas-permeable membrane and a gas-permeable base material is provided between the reinforcing fiber substrate and the mold, and the inside of the mold is depressurized by suction.
- a resin is injected into the mold via the resin diffusion medium, and the injected resin is sucked from a degassing space formed between the gas permeable membrane and the mold, thereby obtaining the reinforcing fiber base.
- the method is characterized by impregnating resin into the material (second method).
- the reinforcing fiber base is made of, for example, a laminate of a reinforcing fiber material.
- the gas permeable membrane one having a releasability that can be separated from a molded product after molding.
- the second method when a molded product having a particularly large area is molded, at least two resin injection gates are arranged above the resin diffusion medium, and at the time of resin injection, It is preferable to inject resin simultaneously from two adjacent resin injection gates or from all resin injection gates. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned second method, when molding a molded product having a particularly large area, in addition to the suction path from the degassing space formed between the gas permeable membrane and the molding die, a small amount is formed in the molding die. It is preferable to provide one and another suction path.
- a resin is injected into a first resin diffusion medium having lower resin flow resistance, and the injected resin is reinforced fiber base material. Quickly and sufficiently widespread along the first face of It is rapidly impregnated in the thickness direction in the reinforcing fiber base material.
- the pressure in the mold is reduced by suction through the second resin diffusion medium having higher resin flow resistance, and the injected resin is suctioned and impregnated into the reinforcing fiber base material in a reduced pressure state. Will be done.
- the resin flow resistance (air flow resistance) of the second resin diffusion medium is higher than the resin flow resistance (air flow resistance) of the first resin diffusion medium, the resin flow resistance (air flow resistance) of the reinforced fiber base material is obtained. Since it is sufficiently low as compared with the above, it is possible to prevent the air from the reinforcing fiber base material from being deteriorated and the degree of vacuum in the base material from being reduced, thereby ensuring the quick impregnation of the resin. Therefore, a sufficiently good resin impregnation property is ensured even for a thick reinforcing fiber base material. Since the second resin diffusion medium has a higher resin flow resistance (air flow resistance) than that of the first resin diffusion medium, the second resin diffusion medium has a higher resistance than the first resin diffusion medium.
- the resin impregnation is supplemented also to the portion where the resin in the reinforcing fiber base material is hardly impregnated, that is, the portion on the second surface side.
- the resin can be sufficiently impregnated throughout the thickness direction of the reinforcing fiber base material. That is, in this process, the resin impregnation in the thickness direction of the reinforcing fiber base is mainly due to impregnation from the first resin diffusion medium side, and the impregnation shortage is caused by the second resin diffusion medium side. It will be supplemented by impregnation.
- the resin is rapidly impregnated from the first resin diffusion medium side.
- resin impregnation is supplemented, The voids extruded by the resin impregnated from the first resin diffusion medium side are not confined in the reinforcing fiber base by the resin impregnated from the second resin diffusion medium side, but are not confined to the side. In the direction along the second surface of the reinforcing fiber substrate at a relatively low speed.
- the voids are prevented from being trapped in the reinforcing fiber base despite the resin impregnation from both sides, and the resin impregnation on the second side is supplemented.
- Thick products can be molded well without the problem of encapsulation.
- the second resin diffusion medium side as the design surface of the molded product, an excellent design surface with small unevenness can be obtained at the same time. In other words, both thick molding and surface quality improvement are achieved at the same time.
- the RTM forming method (second method) according to the present invention is effective in the following cases.
- the molding is particularly performed.
- As a means for always effectively operating the deaeration path from any part of the mold surface providing a deaeration medium composed of a gas-permeable membrane and a gas-permeable substrate between the reinforcing fiber base and the molding die surface. it can.
- the gas permeable membrane preferably has, for example, very fine holes on its surface and forms a smooth surface.
- the surface quality of molded products is improved. Can be made.
- the present invention also provides the following RTM molding method from the viewpoint of molding to a high Vf. That is, in the RTM molding method according to the present invention, a reinforcing fiber base is arranged in a mold, a resin injection line and a suction line communicating with the mold are provided, and the inside of the mold is depressurized by suction.
- the resin is injected into a molding die and impregnated into a reinforcing fiber base to form an FRP molded product, the resin is mixed so that the fiber volume content is lower than the target fiber volume content of the FRP molded product.
- the method is characterized by stopping the injection of the resin after impregnating the reinforcing fiber base material, and then continuing the suction of the resin until the target fiber volume content is reached (third method).
- third method when the resin flows through the entire base material and is impregnated and cured, the resin is continuously suctioned until the target fiber volume content is reached until the resin is cured, and the resin is then squeezed from within the reinforcing fiber base material.
- This is an RTM molding method in which excess resin is sucked, thereby increasing the fiber volume content to a target value.
- At least one of the resin injection lines can be changed to a suction line, and resin suction can be continued until the target fiber volume content rate is reached.
- the target fiber volume content is preferably in the range of, for example, 55 to 65% in order to increase V f.
- a fiber volume content lower than the target fiber volume content described above is, for example, 45 to 60%. Preferably, it is within the range.
- the content is preferably in the range of 45 to 55%.
- the reinforcing fiber substrate is formed into a preform in which the fiber volume content, which is the ratio of the volume of the reinforcing fiber to the bulk volume of the reinforcing fiber substrate, is lower than the target fiber volume content.
- the fiber volume content which is the ratio of the volume of the reinforcing fiber to the bulk volume of the reinforcing fiber substrate.
- a woven fabric or a laminate preformed to an arbitrary fiber volume content within the above range lower than the target fiber volume content can be used as the reinforcing fiber base.
- This fabric includes two-dimensional and three-dimensional fabrics.
- the laminate may be formed by arbitrarily increasing the number of reinforcing fiber layers, or when the reinforcing fiber layers are bonded to each other, the fiber volume content may be reduced. Stable and more preferred.
- whether or not the target fiber volume content has been reached can be determined, for example, by measuring the thickness of the reinforcing fiber base material. It is determined whether or not a predetermined amount of the resin has been removed by suction. Further, in the above RTM molding method, it is also possible to previously set the amount of resin to be injected or the amount of suction. That is, the injection amount of the resin corresponding to the fiber volume content lower than the target fiber volume content is set in advance, and the injection of the resin can be stopped when the set injection volume is reached. Further, it is possible to preset the amount of resin suction for reaching the target fiber volume content with respect to the resin injection amount, and stop the resin suction at the time when the set suction amount is reached.
- At least one layer of the reinforcing fiber base is made of a carbon fiber layer.
- This carbon fiber layer can be formed into a woven fabric, for example, a unidirectional woven fabric in which carbon fibers are oriented in a minus direction.
- the resin is applied to the reinforced fiberglass base such that the fiber volume content is lower than the target fiber volume content of the FRP molded body. Since the impregnation is performed, the porosity is high and the resin is sufficiently impregnated over the entire area of the reinforcing fiber base material. At this time, the generation of the resin-unimpregnated portion is prevented. After the impregnation of the resin, the resin injection is stopped, and thereafter, until the resin is cured, the suction of the resin is continued until the target fiber volume content is reached, and the excess resin is sucked from inside the reinforcing fiber base material. As a result, the desired high V f of the compact is achieved.
- the present invention also provides the following RTM molding method as another method for solving the above-mentioned problems. That is, in the RTM molding method according to the present invention, a reinforcing fiber material laminate is formed by laminating a plurality of reinforcing fiber materials in a molding die, and the inside of the molding die is depressurized by suction.
- the method is characterized by impregnating the resin into the reinforcing fiber material laminate by injecting the resin from the end face of the body in the direction along the lamination surface (fourth method). That is, a method of injecting a resin mainly between the layers of each reinforcing fiber material from the end face of the reinforcing fiber material laminate, and impregnating the injected resin into each reinforcing fiber material.
- a resin is injected from the end face of the reinforcing fiber material laminate from the direction along the laminating surface, and first, each reinforcing fiber material having a low flow resistance and constituting the reinforcing fiber material laminate is used.
- the resin is quickly injected into the layers of the reinforcing fiber material, and then the resin is impregnated from the respective layers in the thickness direction of the reinforcing fiber material, that is, in the laminating direction of the reinforcing fiber material, so that the entire reinforcing fiber material laminate is quickly sunk.
- Matrix resin can be injected and impregnated.
- the thickness of the molded body to be molded is large, there is no longer any limitation on the thickness as in the past, and the above-mentioned problems can be solved at once. That is, although it depends on the type of the reinforcing fiber material and the resin, according to experiments, the flow resistance of the resin in the direction parallel to the surface of the reinforcing fiber material is about 1/5 to 1/5 of the flow resistance in the direction perpendicular to the surface. The diffusion rate of the resin in the direction parallel to the plane of the reinforcing fiber material is much faster than that in the direction perpendicular to the plane.
- the distance that the resin can travel between the layers is also limited. It should be within 600 mm. In this way, by injecting the resin from the end surface of the reinforced fiber material laminate through the interlayer and in the direction along the lamination surface, the thickness of the reinforced fiber material laminate is practically unlimited, and even a thick molded product can be obtained. It can be molded into Further, since there is basically no need to dispose a resin diffusion medium in the portion to be molded, the unevenness of the resin diffusion medium is not transferred, and the surface properties can be improved. Significant cost reduction can be achieved by reducing man-hours for preparation and removal work.
- the fourth method if the total length of the reinforcing fiber material laminate (the total length along the shape when the material is bent or curved) is 60 Omm or less, By injecting the resin from the end face into the interlayer, it is possible to sufficiently immerse the resin in each reinforcing fiber material. That is, if the length exceeds 60 Omm, the resin is hardly impregnated, and a resin impregnation defective portion may be generated. When the length is 30 Omm or less, it is more preferable because the resin can be impregnated in a shorter time.
- the resin viscosity is maintained within a range of 10 to 1500 mPa * s from the start of the resin impregnation until one hour elapses with respect to the injection temperature of the liquid resin. If so, resin impregnation in a short time is possible.
- the resin viscosity If it is lower than 10 mPas, the resin viscosity is too low, so that it can quickly penetrate between the layers of the laminate in the direction along the lamination surface, but especially the reinforcing fiber material is composed of reinforcing fiber strands In this case, the resin impregnation proceeds substantially simultaneously from the periphery of the strand toward the inside of the strand, so that a resin-unimpregnated portion easily occurs inside the reinforcing fiber strand.
- the resin viscosity at the injection temperature of the liquid resin is maintained in the range of 10 to 150 'mPas until one hour elapses from the start of the resin impregnation. .
- the cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing fiber laminate is not particularly limited, and may be a flat shape, a square shape, a C shape, an I shape, an L shape, a Z shape, a T shape, a J shape, or a hat shape. It is good.
- the skin material is often formed in a simple flat plate shape. In many cases, the material is formed into a relatively complicated shape, and in such a case, the present invention is particularly suitable to be applied to a stringer forming portion.
- a reinforced fiber material laminate is composed of a stringer with a cross section of square, C, I, L, Z, T, J, or hat, and a skin material.
- the present invention is particularly effective in forming the stringer-constituting portion when it is composed of a stringer portion.
- the resin is mainly injected between the layers of the reinforcing fiber materials from the end face of the laminate of the stringer-forming portion, and then the entire stringer-forming portion is impregnated with the resin.
- the stringer forming portion and the skin material forming portion may be integrally formed.
- the resin is injected from the S surface of the stringer component, there is no limit on the thickness of the stringer material, and there is no need to provide a resin diffusion medium. A significant cost reduction can be achieved by reducing the number of man-hours in the preparation and removal work.
- the resin is diffused in a direction along the surface of the skin material forming portion through a resin diffusion medium and impregnated in the thickness direction, and the skin material and the stringer are impregnated.
- a reinforcing panel made of a material can be integrally formed.
- a resin diffusion medium or an upper mold provided with a resin flow channel can be further arranged on the end face of the reinforcing fiber material laminate.
