The application of advanced composite materials in drone structural components.
2024-10-28
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), commonly referred to as "drone," is an aircraft that is operated without a human pilot on board, using radio remote control and onboard programmed control systems, or fully or intermittently autonomous operation via onboard computers. As a new type of aircraft, drones differ from manned aircraft in terms of operational requirements and mission objectives. Drones typi...

Overview of 8 Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Methods for Composite Materials
2024-11-01
Composite materials are new materials created through advanced material preparation techniques that combine components with different properties in an optimized manner. In the 1940s, due to the needs of the aviation industry, fiberglass-reinforced plastics (commonly known as fiberglass) were developed, marking the beginning of the term "composite materials." After the 1950s, high-strength and high...

Eight Ways to Reduce Injection Molding Costs
2024-11-08
1. Production Workshop The layout of the production workshop should consider two main aspects: meeting production requirements and optimizing layout based on production flow, while ensuring flexible energy use under specific production conditions. (1) Power Supply: Ensure a stable power supply with a moderate buffer to avoid excessive energy waste from unused capacity. (2) Efficient Cooling Water ...

How to increase the gloss of ABS injection-molded products?
2024-11-11
Injection Mold 1. If the mold cavity is poorly machined, with defects such as scratches, micro-pores, wear, or rough surfaces, it will affect the gloss of the plastic part. To address this, ensure precise machining of the mold to achieve a lower surface roughness for the cavity; if necessary, polish and chrome-plate the cavity. 2. If the cavity surface has oil stains, watermarks, or excessive mold...

Do you know which nylon materials are used in new energy vehicles?
2024-11-15
In the new energy vehicle materials industry, polymers encompass plastics, rubber, silicone materials, and composite fiber materials such as carbon fiber. To avoid safety hazards associated with high-voltage systems, materials for new energy vehicles must not only be heat-resistant but also flame-retardant. Therefore, Xiamen LFT has introduced a flame-retardant polyamide solution targeting manufac...
