Assembly making connection to vehicle bodywork, comprises pultruded composite component with undercut section cast-into light alloy component

摘要

The end section (22) of the fibrous composite component (24) is cast-into a light alloy molding (26). The end of the fibrous composite is pre-shaped for interlocking, especially being undercut (28). The fibrous composite has local curvature. To make the assembly, the composite is formed by pultrusion and its end region is laid in a casting mold. Metal is cast around the end region, to form the cast component (26). Before laying into the mold, the undercut is molded into the end region. During metal casting around it, the composite is cooled. Curvature is introduced into the fibrous composite component during pultrusion. During casting-in, a hollow chamber in the fibrous component is sealed. An independent claim IS INCLUDED FOR the method of manufacture.
