In the field of automotive manufacturing, a new type of electric racing car uses PEI LCF40 composite material to manufacture the battery case.
This electric racing car pursues extreme performance and lightweight design. Traditional battery cases mostly use metal materials, which are not only heavy but also may be affected by corrosion and collision in complex working environments. The battery case made of PEI LCF40 composite material perfectly solves these problems.
First of all, the ultra-high strength of PEI LCF40 ensures the safety of the battery during high-speed driving and violent collisions of the racing car. Even in extreme cases, it can effectively protect the battery from damage. Its outstanding rigidity makes the casing not deform during installation and use, ensuring the installation accuracy of the battery.
During the manufacturing process, Carbon (Xiamen) New Material Company provides high-quality long carbon fibers, providing a strong guarantee for the performance of the material. After careful design and manufacturing, the weight of this battery case is reduced by 50% compared with the traditional metal case, greatly reducing the overall weight of the racing car and improving the cruising range and acceleration performance.
At the same time, the corrosion resistance of PEI LCF40 composite material enables it to resist the erosion of chemical substances inside the battery and the influence of harsh external environments. Good wear resistance also ensures that the casing will not be damaged due to friction during long-term use. Prominent electrical insulation provides a reliable guarantee for the safe operation of the battery. Through the successful application on this electric racing car, PEI LCF40 composite material brings innovative solutions to the automotive manufacturing field and shows its great potential in the manufacturing of high-performance automotive parts.

What are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites are materials where carbon fibers are incorporated into a thermoplastic matrix. They combine the strength and stiffness of carbon fibers with the processability and recyclability of thermoplastics. For instance, they are used in automotive parts like bumper beams.
What are the benefits of CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites over traditional composites?
The key benefits include faster production cycles, easier recyclability, and better impact resistance. They also offer design flexibility. An example is in the manufacturing of consumer electronics casings where complex shapes can be achieved more easily.
How are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites processed?
Common processing methods include injection molding, extrusion, and compression molding. Injection molding is widely used for mass production. For example, in the production of small components for the medical industry.
What industries use CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
They are utilized in aerospace, automotive, medical, and sports equipment industries. In aerospace, they can be found in interior components. In the medical field, they might be used in prosthetics.
How does the carbon fiber content affect the properties of the composites?
Higher carbon fiber content generally leads to increased strength and stiffness but may reduce ductility. A moderate content is often balanced for specific applications. For example, a higher content might be preferred in structural parts of a race car.
What are the challenges in using CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
Challenges include higher material costs, complex processing equipment requirements, and ensuring uniform fiber dispersion. Issues with adhesion between the fibers and the matrix can also arise. An example is in achieving consistent quality in large-scale production.
