基于感應加熱的碳纖維增強塑料快速生產工藝
Scania Growth Capital已向瑞典材料技術公司cobreon投資33.3億歐元，該公司開發了一種超快碳纖維增強塑料(Cfp)生產工藝，從而提高了復合材料的標準。
材料，成本低，對環境的影響小。
Cobreon發明了一種快速生產碳纖維增強塑料的工藝。這導致了新的更高標準的復合材料，降低了成本和對環境的影響小。
程序是基于感應加熱，它使柯勃隆能夠以比現有的既定方法更快的速度生產碳纖維組件。生產的碳纖維組分質量也較好，生產能耗大大降低。
生產周期快10倍
Cobreon AB的創始人兼席執行官Tobias Bj rnhov說：
這項技術使生產周期縮短了10倍，節省了95%的能源，并創造了有史以來纖維體積分數高的復合材料。
這一切始于十多年前在法國阿爾卑斯山與一群熱愛滑雪的朋友，以及用碳纖維制造更好的滑雪板的想法。
Bj rnhov說：“我們的金融資產有限，所以我們需要找到一種更快、更便宜的方法來開發雪橇。”“然后，我們發現，我們可以加熱材料的材料是從內部，而不是增加熱量到外面，利用其中所含的碳纖維作為熱源。”
“多虧了這項技術，熱量可以更容易控制，需要添加的塑料更少，纖維的體積分數也很高，”公司創始人兼席技術官(CTO)拉斯·奧爾森(Rasmus Olsson)說。
產品種類繁多
該方法適用于汽車、電信、航空航天和機器人等行業的廣泛產品。
“我們正處于加速階段，我們的生產能力和我們的組織都在增長。擁有Scania Growth Capital作為投資者，無論是擁有財政資源，還是擁有他們的技能和經驗，對我們來說都是極其重要的。“
斯卡尼亞定制卡車開發主管佩爾-阿恩·埃里克森(Per-Arne Eriksson)將加入科巴隆的董事會。
埃里克森說：“我們的戰略是投資于那些與我們經營的生態系統具有戰略意義的公司，而科巴隆非常適合這些公司。”在瞬息萬變的汽車工業中，我們看到了許多將碳纖維復合材料的使用擴大到更多應用的機會，以促進產品開發，包括汽車電氣化。“

Scania Growth Capital has invested EUR 3,3 million in Corebon, a Swedish materials tech start-up that has developed a superfast Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) production process that results in a higher standard of composite
materials, lower cost and minimal impact on the environment.
A fast production process for carbon fibre reinforced plastic based on induction heating
Corebon has invented a fast production process for carbon fibre reinforced plastic. This has resulted in a new higher standard of composite materials, lower costs and minimal impact on the environment.
The patented process is based on induction heating, and it enables Corebon to produce carbon fibre components at higher speed than through existing established methods. The quality of the carbon fibre components produced is also superior, and the energy consumption in production is considerably reduced.
10 times faster production cycle times
Tobias Bj?rnhov
Tobias Bj?rnhov, founder and CEO, Corebon AB, says:
“The Technology results in up to 10 times faster production cycle times, up to 95 per cent energy savings, and the highest fibre-volume fraction composites ever manufactured.”
It all began over 10 years ago in the French Alps with a group of friends who had a passion for skiing and an idea for making better skis using carbon fibre.
“We had limited financial assets so we needed to find a much faster and cheaper way to develop the skis,” says Bj?rnhov. “We then discovered that we could heat the material they were made of from within instead of adding heat to the outside, using the carbon fibre contained in them as a heat source.”
“Thanks to this technology, the heat can be controlled more easily, less plastic needs to be added, and a high fibre volume fraction is achieved”, says Rasmus Olsson, founder and CTO, Corebon AB.
Wide range of products
This method is applicable to a wide range of products in the automotive, telecommunication, aerospace and robotics industries.
“We are in an acceleration phase and we are growing both our production capacity and our organisation. To have Scania Growth Capital as an investor, both with financial resources but also with their skills and experience, is extremely important to us.”
Per-Arne Eriksson, Head of Customized Truck Development at Scania, will join the board of directors of Corebon.
“The strategy has been to invest in companies that have strategic relevance to the ecosystem in which we operate and Corebon fits very well,” Eriksson says. “In the rapidly changing automotive industry, we see many opportunities to expand the use of carbon fibre composites to more applications as an enabler in product development, including in vehicle electrification.”
