  • Publication number: 20230312850
    Abstract: A method for producing a prepreg in which a reinforcing fiber base material is impregnated with a resin to produce a prepreg, wherein said method comprises: a step for preparing a first resin, which is the resin containing a filler, and a second resin, which is the resin not containing a filler; a step for arranging the second resin adjacent to the reinforcing fiber base material; a step for arranging the first resin adjacent to the reinforcing fiber base material and/or the second resin; and a step for impregnating the reinforcing fiber base material with the resin of the first resin and the second resin.

  • Publication number: 20220380264
    Abstract: A method of forming a ceramic matrix composite with being impregnated with molten metal includes: stacking a plurality of fiber layers that are layers of reinforced fibers impregnated with base resin to form a laminate in which a matrix layer containing fibers extending in a direction of impregnation with the molten metal is disposed between the fiber layers; forming an impregnation path in the matrix layer entirely in an in-plane direction perpendicular to a direction of the stacking in the laminate by carbonizing the formed laminate; and impregnating, with the molten metal, the laminate in which the impregnation path has been formed.

  • Publication number: 20210162637
    Abstract: In the present invention, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of a local deformation in a plate material during solidification and shrinkage of an injection molding material. The composite material injection molding method includes an injection step of injecting an injection molding material containing reinforcing fibers onto one surface of a plate material; and a molding step of solidifying the injection molding material to mold a frame part so as to surround the outer periphery of the plate material and to mold a rib so as to define an inner peripheral-side space on the inner peripheral side of the frame part. In the injection step, the injection molding material is injected so that a weld part at which the injection molding material converges is formed in a region not overlapping the plate material of the frame part.
