Method of die-cast moulding metal to fibre-reinforced plastics.

摘要

Molten metal (24) is die-cast directly to and around a surface of a fibre-reinforced plastics part (36) in such a way as to actually take advantage of the thermal decomposition of part of the resin of the plastics part (36), caused by the hot metal (24). The molten metal (24) is introduced to the surface of the fibre-reinforced plastics part (36) and is cooled just rapidly enough to allow a controlled, limited resin decomposition to occur at the top surface of the fibre-reinforced plastics part (36). Molten metal (24) then flows in and around the fibres thus exposed, creating a secure interlock between the metal and the fibre-reinforced plastics part (36). <IMAGE>
