SMC molds made of SMC materials have excellent electrical insulation performance, mechanical properties, thermal stability, and chemical corrosion resistance. So the application scope of SMC molds is quite extensive, mainly in the following application areas:
Application in the automotive industry
Developed countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan have extensively adopted SMC composite materials in automobile manufacturing, involving all types of vehicles such as sedans, buses, trains, tractors, motorcycles, as well as sports vehicles, agricultural vehicles, etc. The main SMC molds include the following categories:
1. Suspension components: front and rear bumpers, instrument panel, etc.
2. Body and body components: body shell, hard shell roof, floor, doors, heat dissipation grille, front panel, flow deflector, luggage compartment cover, sun visor, SMC fender, engine hood, headlight reflector.
3. Underhood components: such as air conditioner housing, air guide cover, intake pipe cover, fan guide ring, heater cover, water tank components, brake system components, as well as battery bracket, engine sound insulation board, etc.
