Super resin "stick", the car again weight loss

Automotive news site Popular Mechanism for China Coatings Onlinenews, recently: GM learned from the aviation industry's re-engineering process, the use of epoxy resin and carbon fiber plastic bonding auto parts, the latest Acadia finally lost more than 300 kilograms, making fuel efficiency greatly improved. In the process of making cars, the practice of "bonding" components to reduce weight sounds dangerous. But in the field of machinery, the use of advanced, advanced adhesives to make transportation is not a new attempt. In fact, Boeing Dreamliner began using a super-superglue as early as 2009.
the use of epoxy resin and carbon fiber-reinforced plastics to produce aircraft casings are two of the main reasons for Dreamliner's commercial success. Because these materials do not require so much maintenance, they are lighter and more fuel efficient. This method works as follows: carbon fiber is heated at ultra-high temperatures and fused with epoxy resins, and the result of the process is very similar. Robots can layer up the new tape and, of course, usually surround it with a mold until they form an aircraft assembly. Once the component is formed, it is placed in a autoculsion sterilizer for further reinforcement. Now, GM is starting to learn from this idea and apply the process to cars. However, it is unclear whether GM uses exactly the same process as Boeing's Dreamliner.
use strong glue and lightweight materials to achieve weight loss, or GM needs to make process improvements. According to China Coatings onlineexperts, the toughness of the new material means gm will reduce steel use when producing the latest Acadia. Although the new material is not much different in thickness from the original steel material (only about the thickness of a hair thinner than the original material), the two are very different in weight. The latest Arcadia will be 700 pounds (318 kg) lighter than the previous version, a reduction that means the car will operate more efficiently. The new Arcadia will have fuel efficiency of only 10.3 litres (23MPG) per 100 km, an increase of about 28% over the original fuel consumption of 13.1 litres (18MPG) per 100 km. Therefore, the benefits of using resin materials are immediate and can be helpful for automotive lightweighting and fuel efficiency improvements.
