Xycomp® 2175
Xycomp® DLF™ is a lightweight thermoplastic composite developed to replace complex-shape metallic components for aerospace applications, and provides value in other demanding environments like defense, space, industrial and more. With outstanding fatigue, vibration, and impact resistance, it typically provides a 35-50% weight savings to help reduce emissions and fuel burn while providing exceptional performance. Xycomp® DLF™ is produced from aerospace-grade, carbon fiber-reinforced, unidirectional prepreg tape which is chopped into flakes, resulting in high fiber content (70% by weight), longer fibers (0.5 in./13 mm or greater), and a high degree of material control.
Features & Benefits
- Weight reduction (35-50% typ compared to aluminum)
- Part consolidation
- Lower material cost Vs. Xycomp® 5175 (Approximately 1/3 the material cost)
- Lower strength and temperature properties vs. Xycomp® 5175
Typically used to replacement for complex shaped-metallic components. However, not limited to only metal replacement. Requires unique tooling, capable of producing high volume components Possible to use “prototype” tool for quicker prototype turnaround time.
Applications
- Brackets
- Ribs
- Robotic components, arms, legs, etc
- Housings Enclosures
