Abstract
Recently, vehicle parts such as center pillars and impact beams used in automobiles have been requiring materials that satisfy both high strength and impact absorption. Therefore, in this study, the applicability of the forming process of CR340 (cold rolled steel sheet)/CFRP Hybrid Composites which are a bonded material of cold rolled steel sheet having excellent formability and carbon fiber prepreg having high strength and high collision absorption in the vehicle parts was investigated. Hybrid composites are fabricated by stacking carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) prepreg on a cold rolled steel sheet (CR340) with Zn coating. Bonding materials were used at the interface between the CFRP prepreg and steel sheet. In addition, in the case of CR340/CFRP Hybrid composites which are made by bonding CFRP prepreg to the surface of press-formed CR340 material, it is impossible to manufacture complicated shapes due to an interfacial bonding separation phenomenon between the reinforcement and steel sheet. An adhesive agent developed by this research team was applied on the cold rolled sheet between CFRP and CR340 materials to enable the blank production of CR340/CFRP Hybrid composites. The heating time and temperature required for bending test were set similar to the curing curve of the CFRP prepreg. The surface roughness of steel materials is important in terms of their tensile strength and bending strength In this study, the steel sheet used was cold rolled 340 with Zn coating without surface roughness treatment for application to mass production in industry. This study investigates the properties of a CFRP/metal hybrid composite material. The hybrid was fabricated after spreading a developed binder on high-strength steel sheets (CR980) prepared by cold rolling and pressing. During the preparation of the CR980/CFRP hybrid composite, and its mechanical characteristics were investigated through bending, tensile, and lap shear adhesion test experiments.
