high mechanical properties'>Carbon Fiber<\/abbr> Sheet Moulding Compound) es un material polim\u00e9rico&nbsp;compuesto reforzado con fibra de carbono, que consiste en una resina termoestable (habitualmente vinil\u00e9ster o epoxy) y diferentes aditivos que permiten obtener unas determinadas caracter\u00edsticas espec\u00edficas y mejorar el comportamiento del material durante el proceso de moldeo del producto final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"2\">Mientras el SMC est\u00e1ndar est\u00e1 reforzado con fibras de vidrio, el CSMC est\u00e1 reforzado con fibras cortadas o tejidos de carbono.&nbsp;Los materiales CSMC combinan las caracter\u00edsticas de bajo peso que ofrecen&nbsp;los composites de carbono en conjunci\u00f3n con un proceso de conformaci\u00f3n ampliamente extendido, como es el moldeo por compresi\u00f3n, que permite ciclos cortos de fabricaci\u00f3n y, por lo tanto, es apto para aplicaciones industriales en grandes series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#106c40\">CSMC MANUFACTURING PROCESS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Resins and additives are automatically weighted and mixed together. The colour pigments and thickeners are measured and mixed continuously with the mother paste in a computer-controlled process forming the impregnation paste. The impregnation paste is immediately transferred to the carbon fibre impregnation line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impregnation paste is transferred to a doctor box where it is deposited onto a moving carrier film. Simultaneously the carbon fibre is chopped to a pre-determined length and dropped onto the layer of paste. A second film is coated with a layer of paste and then used to cover the fibre cuttings creating a \u201csandwich\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resulting sheet is then sent through a series of compaction rollers to ensure a perfect impregnation or wet out of the chopped&nbsp;fibre. At the end of the impregnation line, the sheet can be rolled up using MegaRolls or MiniRolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" id=\"3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/astar.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AstarSMCProcess.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/astar.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AstarSMCProcess-1024x662.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/astar.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AstarSMCProcess-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/astar.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AstarSMCProcess-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/astar.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AstarSMCProcess-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/astar.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AstarSMCProcess.jpg 1382w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#106c40\">MATURATION AND CONSERVATION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>CSMC must mature before it reaches optimal conditions for moulding. The resin paste changes from a liquid state during manufacturing to a semi-solid state at its optimal condition period. This change in viscosity is achieved through the introduction of the thickening agent during manufacturing. Typically the required maturation time is between 2 and 4&nbsp;days, depending on the specific formulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"4\">Even after the material has matured, it continues to thicken at a speed dependant on the storage temperature. Therefore there is an optimal utilisation period of typically, between 1 and 6 months, dependant mainly on the specific formulation and storage temperature, which is recommended to be between 5\u00baC and 25\u00baC. Higher storage temperatures can significantly reduce the usability time of CSMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#106c40\">CSMC MOULDING<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>CSMC is mainly used in hot press compression moulding.
