Process Selection Case Study
Car Bonnet
As weightsaving assumes greater importance in automoile design! the replacement o" steel
parts with polymercomposite sustitutes ecomes increasingly attractive# $his case study
e%plores the competition etween steel and thermosetting composites "or manu"acturing a
onnet hood o" a passenger car Die&enach '()# $he weight o" the onnet depends on the
car model* a typical weight is aout + ,g# $he shape is a dishedsheet and the re-uirements
on tolerance and roughness are .#/ mm and / 0m! respectively# $he design re-uirements "or
the car onnet are listed in $ale (#
