Ford developing new techniques for the use of carbon fiber

Ford is one of the brands that surprised me personally in the last two years. New technologies and developments quite intelligent are the reasons why Ford has positively impacted me.prepreg A brand that is developing new cleaner and greener technologies, designing vehicles discounts without despising some good finishes and ride comfort worthy of any premium German. But Ford’s philosophy is to go beyond and apparently is developing a technique based on CFRP which could improve the final costs of production.carbon sheet A direct blow to the waterline of the leading brands in the automotive world, no doubt.

Very recently and talked about the future of Ford with the 2012 Go Further to that we had the opportunity to attend. And if anything it was clear from that world event is that Ford wants to keep growing, and not in any way. carbon sheetsThey seek to improve in all segments with new technologies that drive the value of efficiency and performance for all their new models. That is why we have recently seen that Ford walks involved in developing new gearboxes 9 and 10 speeds.

But there are many factors involved in the creation of more efficient models.carbon fabric Speak weight. That is why Ford is investing in new technologies to implement in a production line the CFRP technology (i.e. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic). A technology that we have spoken at length in the past and it is not new to the big brands. It will be a technology that would greatly reduce the final weight of certain components while maintaining the rigidity of materials such as steel. carbon clothThus Ford said it would be able to save on average about 340 kg in each model.

That way everyone would benefit, but the problem is that the implementation of the road cars is an expensive CFRP. And Ford wants to improve this factor patterns redefining the impregnation process all fabric must suffer before becoming rigid. Thus, it would be a “quick, stable and suitable way to treat the CFRP with a high degree of finishing and quality.”
