SMC products are applied to cars more often, which not only meet the car companies’ goal of automotive lightweight, but the cost is also reduced. Today, PHP will have a brief introduction of the classification of SMC auto parts:
1) Functional parts. They have a specific function such as drip tray being anti-oil and anti-corrosion, thermal baffle being heat resistant.
2) Car shell plates. They are divided into vertical shell (side plate and car door) and horizontal shell (car roof and engine hood). The development of the car shell is fast, especially the engine hood.
3) Structural parts. Impact strength and overall structure are very good and such SMC structural parts can guarantee drivers and passengers are safe after the crash, such as Formula One and car space frame.
4) Semi-structural parts with good mechanical strength and integrity, such as radiator bracket and beam. There are only two pieces of SMC radiator brackets of Taurus and Mercury Sable, but the original metal bracket has 22 components, so the weight is greatly reduced and the cost reduced 14%.
With the development of new technology and further research on the applied technology, SMC materials will certainly be widely used in plastic molding and processing area. PHP is specialized in making SMC molding press for an automobile manufacturer. Feel free to send inquiries to cindy@wuxipd.com or call us at +86 051083394311.
