Increasing the composite stack: Co-molding of dissimilar materials
This demo introduces the concept of co-molding with thermoset composites to improve the final part performance. (Sponsored)
This demo introduces the concept of co-molding with thermoset composites to improve the final part performance. This overview is for those who are unfamiliar with thermoset materials and their molding processes. During this presentation, LyondellBasell will review the functional elements of composite materials and defining the types of challenges that co-molding can solve based on their size relative to the finished part. They will also discuss the use of metal inserts, including design concerns and material selection, along with more advanced concepts in the co-molding of different molding compounds and the use of additional filler bodies.
