METHOD FOR MOLDING FIBER-REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITE MATERIAL, INTERMEDIATE THEREOF AND COMPOSITE SHEET

摘要

Disclosed is a method for molding a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite material with good workability. This method enables to stably obtain articles having good quality at low cost. Specifically disclosed is a method for molding a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite material wherein a composite sheet (7), which is obtained by putting and stitching together a reinforcing fiber (5) and a nonwoven fabric (6) composed of a thermoplastic resin in layers, is placed in metal molds (2, 3) and then molded therein by being pressed and heated so that the temperature of the composite sheet (7) becomes higher than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin.
