Why fiber reinforced plastics can replace metal

  The new generation of fiber-reinforced plastics has mechanical properties comparable to those of some metals, and the surface after injection is very smooth and beautiful, and can also be used for structural appearance parts. Some models have a heat distortion temperature up to 310℃ and are resistant to hydrolysis, and can be used in high-temperature and humid environments. The formed fibers can still maintain a considerable length and are entangled with each other, so that the finished product has high rigidity and good toughness at the same time; coupled with the advantages of dimensional stability, light weight and corrosion resistance, long fiber materials have been widely used in automobiles , Aerospace, medical, transportation, sporting goods, household appliances and electronic products.

Benefits of replacing metal with plastic

1. Reduce weight-The proportion of metal and plastic is below 1.7. It is lighter than steel (~7.8) and lighter metals such as aluminum (~2.8). Generally speaking, the use of carbon fiber reinforced plastics has a more obvious effect on weight reduction.

 

2. Chemical resistance-higher chemical resistance makes plastic parts more resistant to rust, rain, cleaning agents and other substances than metal.

 

3. Cost saving-not only compare the cost of components, but in terms of overall system cost-effectiveness, plastic parts may help integrate several components, reduce the number of parts and assembly processes, or color during injection molding to reduce polishing and coloring of metal parts, etc. cost.

 

4. Suitable for more complex parts-When the complexity of the parts increases, the process and cost increase of plastic parts are more moderate than that of metal parts.

 

5. Increase the degree of design freedom-plastic parts are more capable of producing designs with complex shapes, with higher design freedom, and can enhance the uniqueness of the brand or product.

 

6. Reduce the scrap rate-When using plastic, it can reduce multiple processes and the use of recycled materials can help reduce the scrap rate.

 

7. Sound absorption and shock absorption-plastic parts are more effective in mitigating vibration and reducing noise, making the product quieter and more durable.
