Making Forged Carbon Fiber Parts

[Drunken_Hamster]

Ever since Superfast Matt said that "forged" carbon fiber is the OSB/MDF of composites, I can't see it the same as I used to.

Adding a small gap with wax or something when making the mould halves really helps expel the excess epoxy.

I bet you can build a submarine out of this to visit titanic

Ik you struggled with the finished part with lots of bubbles and empty spots. As per my experience you need to add more resin and chopped carbon fibre into the mold than usual. Best indicator for that is the resin and CF should flow out of the mold while applying pressure. And yes! Great work and dont listen to those dumb who have no idea what forged CF is.

Cool. It's called Forged Carbon because of the short, chopped fiber strands. I think Lamborghini uses a heated press to form their production parts.

You can also add strength by laying long, continuous tows (strands) of carbon fiber along the length, and width of the part. Still, it sure turned out nice!

What’s that mold making material you’re using?

[TheMrDarius]

The way that engine sounds it's like the dodge viper and Lexus LFA had a one night stand and this is their bastard child. Pretty awesome honestly.

What material do
you Use for the mold?

[RetroTechCustoms]

What exact material was used to make the mold with

[michaeltlays]

Idk why but watching people turn regular parts into carbon fiber or Forged carbon fiber is quite therapeutic

[J_The_Detailer]

Wouldn't u press the end, clamp that spot, then move a few inches, press & clamp that spot and work ur way to the other end so that every clamped part has the psi clamped from the press? Instead of the middle having high clamping force and the ends just have however much u can turn a C-clamp by hand? Just a thought🤷‍♂️

[gabednconfused]

used scrap tows have turned into decorative heavy parts. Generally useless in structural applications, or about anywhere you want to get the actual use of composite materials.

[hassanalmoathin]

How do you calculate the required clamping force?

[Christdeliverme]

What does the resin fail at temperature wise?
And is the resin resistant to fuel and oil?

[timburton]

Is it any lighter once it's as thick as the aluminium part?
