Izinto ezihlanganisiwe zinezinto ezinhle kakhulu njengokuqina okuphezulu, imodulus ephezulu, ukuqina okuphezulu, ukumelana nokugqoka okuphezulu, ukuminyana okuphansi, ukumelana kwamakhemikhali kanye nokuhamba okuphansi, okuzenza zilungele izingxenye zezimoto, izakhiwo zezindiza nezinye izingxenye zesakhiwo ezisetshenziselwa ezokuthutha.
Ngokwesilinganiso sokukhula kwemakethe yezokuthutha yomhlaba wonke (US $ 33.2 billion) kusuka ngoDisemba 2020 kuya kuDisemba 2025, izinga lokukhula kwemakethe yezinto ezihlanganisiwe kulindeleke ukuthi libe ngama-US $ 33.2 billion.
Inqubo yokubumba ye-resin inesabelo esikhulu semakethe emhlabeni. I-Resin Transfer molding (RTM) inqubo yokudlulisa i-resin esizwa nge-vacuum, enezinzuzo zokwandisa isilinganiso se-fiber ku-resin, amandla amahle kakhulu nezici zesisindo. It is ikakhulukazi esetshenziselwa ukwakha izingxenye nendawo enkulu ebusweni, ukuma eziyinkimbinkimbi futhi sekugcineni bushelelezi. Le nqubo isetshenziselwa ukukhiqizwa kwezindiza nezakhiwo zezimoto, njengezakhi ze-powertrain nezinto zangaphandle.
Ngokuya ngezicelo ezithile, izicelo zangaphakathi zangaphakathi kulindeleke ukuthi zilawule imakethe. Esikhathini sesibikezelo, isicelo sangaphakathi sokwakhiwa kulindeleke ukuthi sibe yingxenye enkulu yemakethe yezinhlanganisela zezokuthutha. Imboni yezemigwaqo ingomunye wabathengi abakhulu bezicelo zangaphakathi ezihlanganisiwe, eziqhutshwa kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezihlanganisiwe ezimotweni. Ngenxa yamandla ayo amahle nesisindo esiphansi, isidingo sezinhlanganisela ze-thermoplastic zezinto zangaphakathi zezindiza siyakhula, okushayela imakethe yezicelo zangaphakathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umkhakha wesitimela ungomunye wabanikeli abakhulu ekukhuleni kwesidingo sezinto ezihlanganisiwe emkhakheni wezicelo zangaphakathi.
I-Carbon fiber ilinganiselwa ukuthi iyinsimbi eqinisa kakhulu ukukhula ngokuya ngezinhlobo ezithile zokuqinisa ifayibha. Ukusetshenziswa okukhulayo kwezinhlanganisela ze-carbon fiber kubangelwa ukukhula okusheshayo emkhakheni wezimoto. Izinhlanganisela ze-Carbon fiber zisetshenziswa kakhulu ku-aerospace, izimboni zokuvikela izwe kanye nezimoto ngenxa yezakhiwo zazo eziphakeme kunokwakhiwa kwengilazi yefibre. I-Carbon fiber inamandla aphindwe kabili kunengilazi yengilazi ne-30% elula. Kuzicelo zezimoto, ukusetshenziswa kwayo kwaqala ekugijimeni kwezimoto, ngoba akugcini nje ngokunciphisa isisindo semoto, kepha futhi kuqinisekisa ukuphepha komshayeli ngamandla akhe aphezulu nokuqina okuphezulu kohlaka lwegobolondo eliqinile. Ngoba nayo inokusebenza kokulwa nokungqubuzana, i-carbon fiber ingasetshenziswa kuzo zonke izingxenye zokwakheka kwezimoto zeF1 njengamanje.
Ngokwendlela yokuhamba, kulindeleke ukuthi ukuthuthwa komgwaqo kube uhlobo olukhula ngokushesha kakhulu lwezinto ezihlanganisiwe. Ngenxa yezinzuzo zedizayini eguquguqukayo, ukumelana nokugqwala, ukuguquguquka, izindleko eziphansi zokugcina kanye nempilo yesevisi ende, izinhlanganisela zingasetshenziswa ezinhlelweni ezahlukahlukene zezimoto, kufaka phakathi izimoto, izimoto zamasosha, amabhasi, izimoto ezentengiselwano nezimoto zomjaho. Izinhlanganisela ze-Glass fiber zivame ukusetshenziselwa izinto zangaphakathi nengaphandle kuzinhlelo zokusebenza zezimoto. Ukusebenza okungasindi namandla amakhulu we-composite kunciphisa isisindo nokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli kwemoto, futhi kunika amandla ama-OEMs ukuthobela imithetho eqinile yemvelo.
Ngokuya ngezinhlobo ze-matrix, i-thermoplastic kulindeleke ukuthi ibe yinkambu ye-resin ekhula ngokushesha kakhulu. Uma kuqhathaniswa ne-resin ye-thermosetting, inzuzo enkulu ye-resin ye-thermoplastic njenge-matrix material ukuthi inhlanganisela ingabuyiselwa futhi i-composite kulula ukuyisebenzisa kabusha. Izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zezinhlaka ze-thermoplastic zingasetshenziswa njengezinto ze-matrix ekubunjweni kwezinhlanganisela. Ubujamo bezinto eziyinkimbinkimbi bungakhiqizwa kalula kusetshenziswa inhlanganisela ye-thermoplastic. Ngoba zingagcinwa ekamelweni lokushisa, zingasetshenziswa futhi ukwenza izakhiwo ezinkulu.
