Description of Fiberglass Compression Molding:
The SMC-process is the most important process technology for fiber reinforced polymers today. It is characterized by the flow behaviour of the semifinished flat SMC-sheet under heat and pressure in the press mould - a kind of press-flow-forming technique. The SMC-sheet is built up continuously from short fiber (20 -50 mm) or endless-fiber mats impregnated with a filled resin system. After finishing the "SMC-sheet" it will be stored for several days to reach the adequate consistancy.
According to the shape of the structure, or the part, the SMC-sheet will be cut roughly to the geometrical dimensions (regarding the weight of the finished part - not the volume!). Positioing the sheet in a heated mould (constant temperature) the uncured matrix system will drop its viscosity. Under the pressure of the press the system will flow to fill the complete mould (near net shape). In parallel the curing process is starting and after a short time the cured part will be demoulded and trimmed for the final shape.As to be seen the process technique is automized to a rather high degree today and can be used for mass production (automotive industry).
For series production the moulds are metal (mainly steel) dies which are heated with steam to temperatures around 120° C to reduce the curing time.
Adding polymer particles which are expanding during the heating process the shrinkage of the matrix nearly can be equalized - called "low profile"-systems - for flat and dimensional stable structures.
