METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING HYBRID COMPONENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18404024 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING HYBRID COMPONENT

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a system for manufacturing a hybrid component, which includes heating a steel plate, forming an undercut on the plate, molding the plate into a component shape, supplying a composite material tape onto the plate, and pressurizing the plate with the composite material tape.

  • Heating of steel plate by a first thermal supplier
  • Pressurizing the heated steel plate with a rolling roll to form an undercut
  • Molding the steel plate with undercut into a component shape using a first molding roll
  • Supplying a composite material tape onto the steel plate through the first molding roll
  • Pressurizing the steel plate with the composite material tape using a composite material pressurization roll
