STUDY OF THE POSSIBILITY TO USE CARBON- AND GLASS-FILLED THERMOPLASTICS FOR MANUFACTURING BODY PARTS OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT FOR TRANSPORT SYSTEMS

The possibility of using glass- and carbon-filled thermoplastics for manufacturing body parts of electronic equipment by means of additive generation of geometry is studied. The study objective is to find a method for manufacturing complex profile surfaces, to reduce the labor intensity of manufacturing body parts of electronic equipment, to improve the efficiency of repair of rolling stock wheel sets. The task to which the paper is devoted is the expediency of using carbon- and glass-filled thermoplastics for manufacturing body parts. The main method of research is experiment. The novelty of the work is that the possibility of using carbon- and glass-filled thermoplastics for manufacturing body parts is found and studied. Research results: the expediency and efficiency of using glass- and carbon-filled thermoplastics for manufacturing body parts of electronic equipment by means of additive generation of geometry is found empirically. Conclusion: the use of additive generation of geometry contributes to reducing the complexity of manufacturing body parts of electronic equipment. The possibility of using glass- and carbon-filled thermoplastics in the production of parts for transport systems is proved.
