Effects of process parameters during forming of glass reinforced-pp based sandwich structure

The concern about the environmental impact of emissions from automobiles has been a strong move to use lightweight materials for automotive applications. Glass reinforced polypropylene sandwich structure with aluminum skin is 30% lighter than monolithic aluminum. Objective: To study the effects of process parameters during forming of sandwich structure. Results: Strain experienced by the sandwich structure is affected by binder force, stiffness of the composite and glue state. Conclusion: Glass reinforced-PP sandwich structure can be stamp formed and has potential to replace monolithic aluminium.
