Fiber-reinforced resin pultruded product and method for producing same
Provided is a fiber-reinforced resin pultruded product obtained by molding a fiber sheet, wherein the fiber sheet is a semi-preg sheet in which a thermoplastic resin serving as a matrix for the pultruded product is fused to at least a fiber surface, and, in the fiber-reinforced resin pultruded product, the fiber sheet has been pultruded, and the thermoplastic resin fills an inside of the fiber sheet and spaces between overlapping portions of the fiber sheet and is integrated with the fiber sheet. A molded product 40 is molded by converging a fiber sheet 33 and feeding the fiber sheet into a heating section 34 of a pultrusion die 37 ; compressing the fiber sheet while heating the fiber sheet to a temperature equal to or above the melting point or a resin flow temperature of the thermoplastic resin in the heating section 34 ; molding the fiber sheet in a molding section 35 ; cooling the fiber sheet in a cooling section 36 to obtain a pultruded product; and pulling the pultruded product out of the pultrusion die 37 using pulling rollers 38 a and 38 b.
