In which occasions are thermoplastic composites used more frequently

Thermoplastic composites are widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, marine engineering, chemical equipment, sports equipment and other fields. The following is a detailed introduction:

Aerospace
Application scenario: Thermoplastic composites are widely used in aircraft structural parts, interior parts and engine parts due to their light weight and high strength. For example, Boeing and Airbus have adopted thermoplastic composites in their aircraft manufacturing to reduce aircraft weight and improve fuel efficiency. Carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites have high strength and high stability, and are suitable for the fuselage, wing surface and propulsion system of spacecraft to improve the durability and safety of the structure.
Advantages: Its lightweight characteristics help to significantly reduce the weight of the aircraft, improve fuel efficiency, while reducing manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulties; corrosion resistance enables it to maintain stable performance in harsh flight environments and ensure flight safety.
Automobile manufacturing
Application scenario: With the acceleration of the trend of lightweight automobiles, thermoplastic composites are increasingly used in automobile manufacturing. It is used to manufacture body structural parts, bumpers, seat frames and other parts to reduce the weight of the car and improve fuel economy and safety. For example, the world's first ultra-light carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite door not only reduces weight by 45%, improves parts integration efficiency by 52%, but also directly drives fuel efficiency up to 31.5%.
Advantages: The innovative application of thermoplastic composite sandwich structures has added significant advantages to the commercial vehicle market. For example, the use of thermoplastic honeycomb cores and fiber-reinforced laminates can achieve weight reduction of up to 70% while maintaining Class A surface quality.
Marine engineering
Application scenarios: The marine environment is complex and changeable, which places extremely high demands on the corrosion resistance of materials. Thermoplastic composites are widely used in structural parts, pipeline systems and anti-corrosion coatings of offshore platforms due to their good corrosion resistance.
Advantages: It can meet the extremely high requirements of marine engineering for the corrosion resistance of materials and maintain stable performance in complex and changeable marine environments.
Chemical equipment
Application scenarios: In the chemical industry, thermoplastic composites are used to manufacture chemical equipment such as storage tanks, reactors, and pipelines. These equipment need to withstand the erosion of various corrosive media, and the corrosion resistance of thermoplastic composites just meets this demand.
Advantages: Lightweight and high-strength properties enable it to reduce transportation and installation costs while ensuring equipment strength.
Sports equipment
Application scenarios: The lightweight and high-strength properties of thermoplastic composites also make them widely used in sports equipment manufacturing. For example, sports equipment such as skis, golf clubs, and bicycle frames all use thermoplastic composites to improve product performance and user experience.
Advantages: Lightweight properties can improve sports performance, while weather resistance and fatigue resistance extend the service life of equipment.
