1 nasjonalt senter for komposittkompetanse Composites and light weight metals - the best of two worlds Conference: Lettmetall 2010 Geilo 11th and 12th February 2010 Iver E. Jensen, General Manager, Norwegian Composite Center Nasjonalt senter for komposittkompetanse 1

2 Norwegian Composite Centre Mission: Promote Norwegian business development in the area of advanced composite materials through active coordination of knowledge transfer and technology development. Photo: Nasjonalt senter for komposittkompetanse 2

3 Norwegian Composite Centre Nasjonalt Senter for Komposittkompetanse (NSK) Foundation established by Innovation Norway 2007 Norwegian HUB- on advanced composite materials Co-located with NCE- Raufoss (light weight materials) and SINTEF Raufoss Manufacturing at Raufoss, Norway Mandate: Business development Technology management Technology services Support to SME s Coordination of competences International cooperation Organization: Manager: Iver E Jensen Project manager: Tomas Luksepp Project manager: Ragnar Sandmark Nasjonalt senter for komposittkompetanse 3

4 Definition Composite materials: A multiphase material in which the phase distribution is controlled so that properties are optimized Usually a continues phase or MATRIX and a distributed phase or REINFORCEMENT The material and the component are formed simultaneously Photo: Forumal 1 car; P. Stachel, Menzolite GmbH Photo: Boeing 787; Photo: Sailboat; P. Stachel, Menzolite GmbH Nasjonalt senter for komposittkompetanse 4

5 NSK shall focus on: Polymeric composites with: high performance and high content of continues fibers Other composite materials: -short fibers -nano particles -metallic based composites -ceramic based composites and the performance or the properties of the product is based on calculations and controlled processes to secure the products directional or its tailored properties Photo: Dr. Greogor Daun, BASF-SE Nasjonalt senter for komposittkompetanse 5

6 Composites vs. Metal Property Composites Metall Directional: Non Isotropic Isotropic Design properties: Directional design possibilities Isotropic Density: Low (2/3 of Al) Higher Corrosive resistance: High Lower Electric and thermal prop: Insulators (glassfibers) Production costs: High Low Cycle time: High Low Conductors Environmental prop: Not easy to recycle Easy to recycle Nasjonalt senter for komposittkompetanse 6

7 Reinforcement in Composites GRP: Glass fiber Reinforced Polymers CRP: Carbon Reinforced Polymers Other types of reinforcements: Aramid (e.g. Kevlar, Twaaron) Other types of polymers (e.g polyethylen, polyester) Ceramic reinforcements (e.g. silisium and carbide) Bio- composites (e.g. sisal, jute) Basalt (volcanic rock) Metals Photo: Basalt fiber; DBF Deutsche Basalt Faser GmbH Photo: Glass fiber; Nasjonalt senter for komposittkompetanse 7

8 Fiber Sizes : Long continuous fibers (> 1-10 cm ) Short fibers (< 1 cm) Nano reinforcements Matrix materials Photo: Carbon fiber; Polymers: Thermo set polymers: e.g. polyester, epoxy, vinyl ester etc. Thermo plastic: e.g. polypropylene, polyamide Elastomerers: e.g. rubber Metals Matrix made of Ceramic or glass materials SiC Silisium Carbide Nasjonalt senter for komposittkompetanse 8
