Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
RECOTRANS 12 MONTHS PROGRESS UPDATE
During first 12 months of RECOTRANS PROJECT, we have started working on the following activities of the project: Demonstrators design, technical requirements; Materials adaptation to microwave and laser joining technology and Microwave integration in RTM line and in pultrusion line.
- Demonstrators design, technical requirements: All possible needs and requirements of three end users and original and targeted dimensions of the demonstrators have been defined, and also the regulatory issues that the demonstrators must follow.
- Materials adaptation to microwave and laser joining technology: different resins have been selected to be developed in the project and they have been characterized. Also, different trials have been carried out with the resins and with the laser welding.
- Microwave integration in RTM line and in pultrusion line: this is the core of the project, during these 12 months first tests to investigate crosslinking between the resin with the microwave, also numerical simulations are being developed.
