基于感应加热的碳纤维增强塑料快速生产工艺
Scania Growth Capital已向瑞典材料技术公司cobreon投资33.3亿欧元，该公司开发了一种超快碳纤维增强塑料(Cfp)生产工艺，从而提高了复合材料的标准。
材料，成本低，对环境的影响小。
Cobreon发明了一种快速生产碳纤维增强塑料的工艺。这导致了新的更高标准的复合材料，降低了成本和对环境的影响小。
程序是基于感应加热，它使柯勃隆能够以比现有的既定方法更快的速度生产碳纤维组件。生产的碳纤维组分质量也较好，生产能耗大大降低。
生产周期快10倍
Cobreon AB的创始人兼席执行官Tobias Bj rnhov说：
这项技术使生产周期缩短了10倍，节省了95%的能源，并创造了有史以来纤维体积分数高的复合材料。
这一切始于十多年前在法国阿尔卑斯山与一群热爱滑雪的朋友，以及用碳纤维制造更好的滑雪板的想法。
Bj rnhov说：“我们的金融资产有限，所以我们需要找到一种更快、更便宜的方法来开发雪橇。”“然后，我们发现，我们可以加热材料的材料是从内部，而不是增加热量到外面，利用其中所含的碳纤维作为热源。”
“多亏了这项技术，热量可以更容易控制，需要添加的塑料更少，纤维的体积分数也很高，”公司创始人兼席技术官(CTO)拉斯·奥尔森(Rasmus Olsson)说。
产品种类繁多
该方法适用于汽车、电信、航空航天和机器人等行业的广泛产品。
“我们正处于加速阶段，我们的生产能力和我们的组织都在增长。拥有Scania Growth Capital作为投资者，无论是拥有财政资源，还是拥有他们的技能和经验，对我们来说都是极其重要的。“
斯卡尼亚定制卡车开发主管佩尔-阿恩·埃里克森(Per-Arne Eriksson)将加入科巴隆的董事会。
埃里克森说：“我们的战略是投资于那些与我们经营的生态系统具有战略意义的公司，而科巴隆非常适合这些公司。”在瞬息万变的汽车工业中，我们看到了许多将碳纤维复合材料的使用扩大到更多应用的机会，以促进产品开发，包括汽车电气化。“

Scania Growth Capital has invested EUR 3,3 million in Corebon, a Swedish materials tech start-up that has developed a superfast Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) production process that results in a higher standard of composite
materials, lower cost and minimal impact on the environment.
A fast production process for carbon fibre reinforced plastic based on induction heating
Corebon has invented a fast production process for carbon fibre reinforced plastic. This has resulted in a new higher standard of composite materials, lower costs and minimal impact on the environment.
The patented process is based on induction heating, and it enables Corebon to produce carbon fibre components at higher speed than through existing established methods. The quality of the carbon fibre components produced is also superior, and the energy consumption in production is considerably reduced.
10 times faster production cycle times
Tobias Bj?rnhov
Tobias Bj?rnhov, founder and CEO, Corebon AB, says:
“The Technology results in up to 10 times faster production cycle times, up to 95 per cent energy savings, and the highest fibre-volume fraction composites ever manufactured.”
It all began over 10 years ago in the French Alps with a group of friends who had a passion for skiing and an idea for making better skis using carbon fibre.
“We had limited financial assets so we needed to find a much faster and cheaper way to develop the skis,” says Bj?rnhov. “We then discovered that we could heat the material they were made of from within instead of adding heat to the outside, using the carbon fibre contained in them as a heat source.”
“Thanks to this technology, the heat can be controlled more easily, less plastic needs to be added, and a high fibre volume fraction is achieved”, says Rasmus Olsson, founder and CTO, Corebon AB.
Wide range of products
This method is applicable to a wide range of products in the automotive, telecommunication, aerospace and robotics industries.
“We are in an acceleration phase and we are growing both our production capacity and our organisation. To have Scania Growth Capital as an investor, both with financial resources but also with their skills and experience, is extremely important to us.”
Per-Arne Eriksson, Head of Customized Truck Development at Scania, will join the board of directors of Corebon.
“The strategy has been to invest in companies that have strategic relevance to the ecosystem in which we operate and Corebon fits very well,” Eriksson says. “In the rapidly changing automotive industry, we see many opportunities to expand the use of carbon fibre composites to more applications as an enabler in product development, including in vehicle electrification.”
