摘要:
Disclosed herein is a processing method for forming a plurality of quadrangular prisms on a plate-shaped substrate having a product area. The processing method includes the steps of preparing an excess-sized plate-shaped substrate having an excess area surrounding the product area, cutting the excess-sized plate-shaped substrate in a first direction by using a cutting blade to thereby form a first cut groove extending in the first direction, cutting the excess-sized plate-shaped substrate in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction by using the cutting blade to thereby form a second cut groove extending in the second direction, filling the first cut groove and the second cut groove with a resin, and cutting the excess-sized plate-shaped substrate along the boundary between the product area and the excess area by using the cutting blade to thereby remove the excess area from the excess-sized plate-shaped substrate.

A vehicle interior panel includes a decorative covering with a non-visible tear seam that forms a deployment opening through the covering during airbag deployment. The tear seam is formed by mechanical piercing of a skin layer of the covering from the decorative side. The skin layer is formed from a self-healing material, allowing a piercing tool to form microholes that are smaller than the effective piercing diameter of the tool without the need for subsequent processes intended to otherwise hide the formed tear seam. Tear seams formed in this manner can offer larger processing windows, lower manufacturing and equipment cost, and/or shorter cycle times when compared to other methods such as laser scoring. Tear seam function may also be improved and/or more predictable.

A composite structure includes a first composite section including a fiber reinforcement and a composite matrix, a second composite section including the fiber reinforcement and the composite matrix, and a flexible section interposed between the first composite section and the second composite section. The flexible section may include the fiber reinforcement and a reduced portion of the composite matrix or no portion of the composite matrix. The composite structure is bendable at the flexible section to permit repeated rotation of the first composite section relative to the second composite section by more than 90 degrees.

A method of scoring a multi-layer film structure, wherein the multi-layer film structure comprises a metal layer and polymer layer bonded to each other, the method comprises using a single laser beam incident to the polymer layer to produce a score line in the polymer layer, wherein the laser energy is absorbed only by the metal layer.

A method of making a sandwich-type composite panel having a cellulose-based core and a living hinge from a stack of material is provided. The stack includes first and second reinforced thermoplastic skins, first and second sheets of thermoplastic adhesive and a cellulose-based cellular core disposed between the sheets and the skins. A pressure is applied to the stack after heating the stack wherein the skins are bonded to the core by the sheets to form the composite panel. A portion of the composite panel is crushed at a predetermined location simultaneously with applying the pressure to locally compact and separate the cellular core at the predetermined location to form two side portions of the panel. The heated first skin stretches during the step of crushing while remaining intact between the two side portions. The skins bond together at the predetermined location to form the living hinge.

摘要:
A method of making a vehicle interior panel includes irradiating a covering layer material in a manner that reduces the strength of the material while preserving the thickness of the covering layer. An irradiated portion of the covering layer is arranged to at least partially overlie an airbag door region of an underlying substrate to help define the location of an airbag tear seam. The irradiation process can be carried out using an electron beam or ultraviolet light. Natural or synthetic organic materials may have their chemical structures altered by irradiation in a manner that reduces the strength of the material, thus reducing or eliminating the need for stress-concentrating features in covering layers and enabling non-visible tear seams to be formed in high strength materials like leather.
