Termoplastik matrisli karbon elyaf takviyeli kompozit malzemelerin kaynaklanmasında indüksiyonla ısıtmanın etkileri

Abstract

Termoplastik matrisli kompozitler, mekanik özelliklerinin yanında üretim maliyetleri ve çevresel nedenlerle gün geçtikçe daha çok tercih edilmektedir.  Üretim sürecini kısaltarak tasarruf sağlamak üzere ısıtma prosesinin hızlandırılması amacıyla, indüksiyonla ısıtma yönteminin termoplastik matrisli kompozitler üzerindeki etkileri önemli bir araştırma konusu oluşturmaktadır.  Bu çalışmada indüksiyonla ısıtma yöntemi ile termoplastik matrisli kompozit malzemenin geometrisine bağlı olarak istenilen bölgesini, karbon elyaf takviye elemanının ısıl iletkenlik özelliğini kullanarak mevcut teknolojilere göre daha hızlı şekilde yüksek sıcaklıklarda şekillendirilmesine yönelik değişken ve parametreler incelenecektir.  Çalışmada öncelikle indüksiyonla ısıtma yöntemine ilişkin temel bilgiler verilmiş, daha sonra ısıtma prosesine etkiyen unsurlar ve esaslar ile son olarak yöntemdeki parametrelerin değiştirilmesi halinde malzeme üzerindeki etkileri ortaya konmuştur.  Çalışmanın, indüksiyonla ısıtma yöntemi ile termoplastik matrisli kompozitlerin üretiminde daha düşük maliyetli proseslerin oluşturulmasına yönelik araştırmalara kaynak olacağı değerlendirilmektedir.

Effects of induction heating in welding of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites

Abstract

Thermoplastic composites are increasingly preferred not only because of their mechanical features but also production costs and environmental reasons.  In order to accelerate heating process for the purpose of economic use of resources by shortening production process, it is essential to study on the effects of the induction heating method on thermoplastic composites.  In this study, basic information and components related to induction heating method are explained, then fundamentals and intrinsic structure affecting the heating process are examined and finally the effects of the changes in the parameters of the method on the material are indicated.  We assess that this study might be a resource to the researches to create new low-cost production processes of thermoplastic composites.
