Is the strength similar to or greater than steel and cast aluminum? How would a part made hold up to road vibration in a semi truck suspension application?
It will depend on the specific requirements of the application, but Xycomp DLF can be used for smaller vehicle suspension components. Xycomp’s mechanical strength is more comparable to aluminum than steel. Heavily loaded steel truck components may prove challenging to convert. Vibrations are typically not an issue due to the mass reduction, dampening capabilities and the design freedom that Xycomp DLF offers.

@greene_tweed thank you. On my kenworth, the suspension is called AG380. There are several items that are made from aluminum. However, the particular items I'm thinking about are the mounting brackets that bolt to the top and bottom of the crosmember that ten gets bolted to the frame rails. Not super critical, but I've been trying to find a way to make it out of carbon fiber. This seems like it would fit the bill. Thanks
Greetings Team Green Tweed, We’re looking for a thermoplastic composite material strong, stiff and light enough to build our low product electric sports-car. Is will product mature enough for said applications? Thank you in advance
As someone who is not in the production/commercial engineering field, what would be the most likely form for one to come into contact with this product and recognize it as such?
Great question! You would likely not come into direct contact with this product unless you were an engineer, but many parts made from this material can be found on commercial aircraft, industrial machinery, and robotics. This material has been used on aircraft interiors, like doors, so that could be one way you would see it in use!
Can components made using this technology be made to rival both the strength and weight of an small, hollow, injection molded ABS part such as a computer mouse shell?

@@scotthewins5341 let us know if we can help! Our team can certainly walk through some of this to see if it would be possible.

Asking fake questions with your alt accounts 😂
Ever notice how companies with poor products play the green card 😢
