Sandwich component and method for producing a sandwich component
A sandwich component and method of producing the sandwich component are provided wherein the sandwich component has a first cover layer, a second cover layer, and a core disposed therebetween. In the sandwich component, the cover layers are each formed from an outer layer made of a fiber-reinforced high-melting-point thermoplast material and, fused therewith, an inner layer made of a low-melting-point thermoplast material. The core has outer layers, each of which is formed from a low-melting-point thermoplast material, and an inner structure, which is formed entirely or partially from a high-melting-point thermoplast material. The inner layers of the cover layers were each fused with one of the outer layers of the core.
1. A sandwich component, comprising:
a first cover layer, a second cover layer, and a core disposed therebetween, wherein
the first and second cover layers are each formed from an outer layer made of a fiber-reinforced high-melting-point thermoplast material and, fused therewith, an inner layer made of a low-melting-point thermoplast material,
the core has outer layers each of which is formed from a low-melting-point thermoplast material, and an inner structure, which is formed entirely or partially from a high-melting-point thermoplast material,
the inner layers of the cover layers are each fused with one of the outer layers of the core, and
the core is a honeycomb core, which is a folded honeycomb structure, which is provided by reshaping a film of high-melting-point thermoplast material coated with a low-melting-point thermoplast material, this coating being carried out only in regions, according to the specific shaping process, such that the low-melting-point thermoplast material is present on the finished folded honeycomb structure only in the region of the folded honeycomb structure cover layers, but not in the region of the inner structure of the folded honeycomb structure.
2. The sandwich component according to claim 1 , wherein the low-melting-point thermoplast materials are identical for an inner layer of a cover layer and the outer layer of the core fused therewith.
3. The sandwich component according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the thermoplast materials is selected from the group comprising: ABS, PA, PBT, PC, PEEK, PEI, PES, PET, PP, PPS, PPSU, PSU.
4. The sandwich component according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the thermoplast materials is selected from the group comprising: ABS, PA, PBT, PC, PEEK, PEI, PES, PET, PP, PPS, PPSU, PSU.
