Connecting rod made of composite material and method for manufacturing the same.

摘要

The rod comprises a core surrounded by a hardening material, forming a head (C) at one end and a foot (D) at the other. The whole of the rod is of composition material, with the core made from crossing wires. Lengthwise wires comprise at least twice the percentage volume of the wires running in other directions. The lengthwise wires run parallel to the axis (X-X) of the rod, while others lie at angles of 45,90 and 135 degrees to it. The core is impregnated with a synthetic resin material, injected into a mould and raised to a set temperature with pressure maintained until it has hardened.
