The differece is that he can reproduce that cover with his form several times - so nothing for someone who wants to do it for one cover. You can simply overlaminate yours and vacuum it. Will do the same

This isn't carbon fiber to begin with so it'll probably be a long time.

I like the idea of using carbon tow as just a surface layer on parts that don't need the strength of forged carbon. You get the look of forged carbon without the mold and workholding complexity, and also on a real carbon part.

(Forged carbon is less strong than regular twills, it is just beneficial in cost for production, and offers more compatibility for awkward shapes especially on smaller parts. It's also lighter for the same volume so it's good for non-structural or partially-structural parts that don't need the extreme properties of regular CF)

@@icehawk3442 forged carbon can be weaker or stronger than twill or weave, depending on use case and manufacturing. The randomly oriented strands are incredible for small, densely packed, complex shapes. Not so much for large, thin, or flat pieces, where the benefit of long, continuous fibers would be apparent. Forged carbon is made by throughly wetting the fibers, and curing under high pressures (some sort of mold and clamp system, usually. This squeezes excess resin out, and packs the fibers more tightly together. The purpose of resin is to transfer load from one fiber to the next. Therefore the less space between fibers, the less the strength of the resin comes into play, resulting in an overall stronger part. Tightly packed, randomly oriented fiber also significantly reduces the concern of delamination.

You're talking about two different things. First there's the wet laminate version, (where you...as you say, wet out the fibers then clamp molds together) then there's the real stuff (SMC and BMC) that's made in a multiple piece mold, and is a prepreg system that is pressed together in a heated platen press. Even SMC/BMC is *almost* as strong as woven fiber (both prepreg). However, SMC and BMC are being used in structural automotive applications now as well. @@g45h96

I know that is great craftsmanship and certainly sharing this with us is a positive. It's just sometimes we do a project asking if we could without thinking if we should. If you were going for non-structural aesthetic upgrade, there was no need to specifically put the twill CF ply underneath the forged. If you had to put twill as you couldn't put the chopped tow under a compression mould, you didn't need to use the vacuum infusion / oven cure type of resin system and could have done with a simpler non-infusion type. Just needs an insulation layer under the cover (which many modern engine covers natively have actually, their role is to retain heat in cold months for better efficiency so the top layers of the cover would never get hot). If you didn't need to go for the twill underneath, you wouldn't have needed a fibreglass mould or oven and could have done it on a 3D-printed mould. A fibreglass mould is often good for making tens of copies of a part, which is nice if you're going to charge 9 of your buddies to make theirs but otherwise is not an optimal usage of your time or resources. If you had otherwise wanted strength from it, it would have been way easier to inbuild a bit of cross rib to the part design by digging lines into a negative mould on the other side and continuing to forge it with the shaped braces underneath. If you didn't know how to model a 2/3-part mould as complex as this, you could have used the original part that you destroyed anyway, and made that a mould. Part would offset and be slightly bigger, but since you'd made the mounting points yourself it wouldn't be noticeable or make a practical difference. None of this takes away how well it turned out and how much effort you put into it, it's just in design very often the first questions are 'do you really need it made to that spec' which is fundamental in functional pieces. I get that for such a large part compression moulding is difficult and driving it with a vacuum infusion twill backing is one of the cleverer workarounds, but surely chasing this aesthetic defies design logic for functional aspects? To those wanting to do it but finding it too hard, with some decent modeling knowledge and modeling time you could cut the resource spend ($ and time/expertise/equipment) more than half in manufacturing. In fact with a bit of modeling knowledge you could even design your own engine cover, all you need are the original bolt hole points. That is the positive inspiration I got from this video -- since even that would be cheaper and quicker than as shown.

TLDR: forged carbon was originally invented to help reduce the effort required to make a carbon part. Just make a mould covering both top and bottom faces, mix some fibre and resin, press it really hard with some C-clamps and you're done. This build unfortunately sacrificed all of that convenience and got the forged finish while effectively going through the huge pains of all the traditional composites process. It's impressive... but a wasted opportunity compared to how much easier it could have been.

Hi, been following for a while. Great job! I want to start working with carbon fiber too. Is the curing/baking process in the oven 100% necessary? Can you just let it cure at the room temperature?

@teoyota

Жыл бұрын

If the parts never ever see sun or high heat, room temperature cure around 20-25C is fine. But in most cases carbon sees the outside world. I've left parts outside in the sun and they reached like 65C on their own. You need to cure in an oven, otherwise once in the sun the parts will distort and the weave will show, a part that looks shinny and beautiful will become very ugly.
