Leichtbau BW: Kosten- und ressourceneffiziente Fertigung von Faserverbund-Metall-Hybridstrukturen im Nasspressverfahren (HyWet) - Teilvorhaben B

the HyWet project investigates the cost efficient and robust manufacturing of FRP-metal hybrid structures consisting of sheet metal blanks made of steel or aluminum with a local FRP reinforcement. A promising approach to overcome the cost issues is the hybrid Wet Compression Molding technology where a textile semi-finished product is wetted by a resin and directly formed into a sheet metal structure. In this case, the adhesion of the sheet metal and composite is realized by co-molding whereby the chosen resin takes the role of an adhesive. After the forming and co-molding process the tool is kept closed for further curing of the FRP reinforcement.
