Structural component with tubular section
A structural component with a tubular section, particularly a structural component of a fluid line, has at least two materials with different stiffness and/or creeping strength, wherein the materials include thermoplastic synthetic materials and wherein the material having the greater stiffness and/or creeping strength is embedded in the other material. The tubular section has a continuous annular surface which extends coaxially with the longitudinal center axis of the structural component and has the same material which has been injection molded over the annular surface in a predetermined quantity ratio relative to the outer material, or between 40% and 100% of the annular surface are composed of the same injection molded material and are distributed in uniform spacings in circumferential direction of the annular surface.
1. A structural component comprising a tubular section composed of at least two materials having different stiffnesses and/or creeping strengths, wherein the materials contain thermoplastic synthetic materials and one of the materials having a greater stiffness and/or creeping strength is embedded in the other material by injection, the tubular section comprising an annular surface extending coaxially to the longitudinal center axis of the structural component, wherein between 40% and 100% of the annular surface is composed of the injected material so as to form a portion having uniform spacings of the injected material distributed in a circumferential direction of the annular surface.
2. The structural component according to claim 1 , wherein the annular surface is covered by a synthetic material subsequently injected into the inner synthetic material over the annular surface, wherein the synthetic material is the same as the outer synthetic material.
3. The structural component according to claim 1 , wherein a quantity ratio of the embedded material relative to the outer material is in the range of 10% to 90%.
4. The structural component according to claim 1 , wherein the embedded material is selected from the group consisting of polyamide (PA), reinforced polyamide, polyethylene (PE), reinforced polyethylene, polypropylene (PP), reinforced polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), polybutylene naphthalate (PBN), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyoximethylene (POM), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and fluorothermoplastic material.
5. The structural component according to claim 1 , wherein the outer material is selected from the group consisting of polyolefin, thermoplastic elastomer, non-reinforced polyamide, thermoplastic polyester, and thermoplastic polyester elastomer.
6. The structural component according to claim 1 , wherein the annular surface is arranged on a radially inner side of the other material of the tubular section.
