N2 - One way to produce metal fibre-reinforced plastic-metal sandwich parts is to inject the polymer between the sheets during deep drawing. A new process has been designed in which parts with an interlayer of glas fibres including a thermoplastic matrix and two metallic sheets can be produced by combining deep drawing and thermoplastic-resin transfer moulding (T-RTM). With the possibility of forming sandwich sheets with a wide range of states of the interlayers' viscosity and due to the polymerisation of the monomers between the sheets, the process combines a lot of advantages but also faces challenges due to the viscous fluid interlayer being hindered from squeezing out.
