Overview Of Indian Composite Industry

Use of fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) started in 1962 The high cost of raw materials, lack of availability of other materials due to import restrictions and the lack of mechanized production methods; affected large scale use of composites. As a result, Indian composite industry could not grow & there by compete with steel, aluminum, timber etc and remained as a cottage industry. Production of polyester resin started in India in 1973, initiating Hand Lay Up Industry.

Overview of Indian Composite Industry

During last three decades, more than 1200 small-scale industries have been established in the country. More than 98% of them use hand lay-up technique for composite fabrication. Improvements in volume growth only started in early 2000 as a result of the globalization of the Indian economy. The total production of composite was about 75,000 tons in 2004-05 and it had risen to 1,10,000 tons in 2005-06.

Long Fibre Injection

LFI - Long fiber injection process is employed to produce interior car components in which there are less mechanical properties but the design is more complex, such as: - dashboards, - interior panels and - under body shields... In this process a chopper sprays from an assembled roving, 25 to 50mm long chopped strands into a temperature controlled mold. A liquid mixing of isocyanate and polyol and catalyst is sprayed in the same time. Once those components are sprayed in the mold in less than 10 seconds, the mold is closed and filled in by the expansion of a polyurethane foam, resulting of the reaction of the liquid. 2 or 3 minutes later, the polymerization is finished and the part can be unmolded and trimmed. If several moulds are available, this process offers a high productivity to produce light weight reinforced polyurethane parts.
Harita Fehrer- A JV between Harita (TVS group) & F.S. Fehrer Automotive GmbH is having LFI molding facility with 3 Carriers at Hosur Near Bangalore Currently Working with Daimler , TATA Motors for developing interior & Exterior products
DATE: 01/06/2010
Advantages
1. Thin walled composites can be produced (min 3mm thickness) 2. Very high productivity. Cycle time is 6- 16 min/ per component/ mould( depending upon the part finish) 3. Usage of low cost glass fiber roving 4. Localized strengthening and Inserts can be provided 5. High dimensional stability and accurate fit 6 Enable to produce fit-finish component in single shot 7. Light weight ( density ranging from 500-1800 kg/cu .m) 8 Low tool cost compared to injection moulding /SMC/sheet metal forming 9. Variable thick & thin wall can be molded in the same part 10.Low energy required to process 11.In-mould finishing can be imparted 12. Very large parts can be molded (2m* 2.5m)
DATE: 01/06/2010
Application
Ready to fit, finish can be achieved using this process 1. LFI-PUR- Only LFI-PUR for structural strength and under bonnet application 2. In mould coating: Application of in mould coating and /or gel coats in the mould prior to LFI-PUR 3. Sandwich Moulding- Pre coloured fabric / PVC leather cloth can be used as the surface finish 4. Foil Film Moulding (FFT)-Pre decorated film can be used to avoid the post finishing operation

Vacuum Bagging ( Prepreg)

Fabrics and fibres are pre-impregnated by the materials manufacturer, Under heat and pressure or with solvent, with a pre-catalysed resin. The catalyst is largely latent at ambient temperatures giving the materials several weeks, or sometimes months, of useful life when defrosted. Unidirectional materials take fibre direct from a creel, and are held together by the resin alone. The prepregs are laid up by hand or machine onto a mould surface, vacuum bagged and then heated to typically 120180C. This allows the resin to initially reflow and eventually to cure. Additional pressure for the moulding is usually provided by an autoclave (effectively a pressurised oven) which can apply up to 5 atmospheres to the laminate
DATE: 01/06/2010
Application
Prepregs application in India is limited to High end application like Aerospace, Defence, & Sports applications. Renault F3 Racing Car Body parts are manufactured by using Carbon & Glass fibre prepregs at Kieneco Engineering , Goa- India, by Caparo UK

Other Composites Applications

Advantages of Suspension Systems are -Specially made to give effects like Air Suspension with out any extra external Energy (Fuel). -No Permanent Deformation Hence No Re-cambering. Thus No Maintenance. -Minimum Wear & Tear of Body parts and tyre. Due to delicate tendency of absorbing road shocks. Jerks & vibrations. -Softer ride, Lower Noise level, due to better damping characteristics. -Excellent Corrosion Resistance against atmospheric Pollutions. -Better life with consistency in performance around 1 million -Fatigue Life Cycle. i.e. Minimum Five times better than metal leaf Spring. -Fully inter changeable with conventional spring without any modification -Increase in Fuel Efficiency due to better Aerodynamic. It cuts the wind with low coefficient of friction. -No Creaking sound due to inter-leaf friction. -Being, mono no greasing is required.
