Conqueror of the Japanese manufacturer and world car market

Lexus LFA, produced by a small-scale Japanese manufacturer, included a massive V-shaped hood. But in order to reduce the weight of the proposed car, the company used many parts of carbon fiber. 65% of the car body consists of such components. Given the advantages of this material, the company decided to use the same spare parts in the new models of its cars. The company’s management even went further, making a decision on the creation of a carbon fiber at the Motomachi plant of its own production plants. LFA consists of 10 thousand details. The manufacturer made equipment renovation, acquired a special expensive drill that has a diamond coating. Such a drill is used to perform clean panels processing. The administration of the company went to establish a robot performing work on applying glue to body parts. Let’s talk a little about the material for the production of parts. Carbon is a material that make up carbon threads, tightly intertwined and fastened with resin. The main component of the carbon is a carbon thread, sophisticated. A feature of carbon thread is brittleness, but it is almost impossible to break it. Such threads are used to produce fabrics with drawings, for example, in the form of a mart or Christmas tree. To provide the resulting material of increased strength, fabric from the fibers is applied in layers at different angles of direction. All layers are strengthened by epoxy resin, as a result, carbon. Such durable material is used in the automotive industry for the production of parts, the frames are made from it supercars. The main plus of carbon is strength and lightness. The most durable, it, in comparison with other metals, is more easily 40%. The minus consists in its high cost. The high cost of such material is associated with the complex technology of its receipt. When gluing all layers of fabric, high -quality resins are used that have a high cost. For the production of parts from this material, very expensive equipment is used — autoclave. The following negative moments of the material is fading from sunlight and the inability to recover after its damage. Even after a little damage to the part, the motorist is forced to replace it. It was suggested that the Japanese LFA will not have a follower, but such material will be used in comfortable lexus. The manufacturer is not called exactly the brand, but they predict that it is planned to release a sports car endowed with ultra -light details with the company of VMW. The Japanese desire to make a hypothetical coupe as a continuation of the concept of LF-LC. And then this excellent material will conquer other novelties of the company.
