Abstract
An inorganic composite, the use of the inorganic composite in tools and molds, a mechanical forming tool, a mold, and a process for manufacturing inorganic composite tools and molds. The composite material mold and/or mechanical forming tool, metal forming, casting or injection mold, said molds or tools have physicochemical properties. The manufacturing process provides fast, low-cost, high-quality manufacture and reduced energy and raw material consumption, making industrial production economically feasible by forming of structural composite materials and bringing environmental advantages.
Claims17
An inorganic composite for mechanical forming tools and molds, the composite comprising a combination of at least one cement matrix with at least one reinforcing fiber.
A method for the manufacture of a mechanical forming tool, an injection mold, a stamping mold, and/or a casting mold comprising using an inorganic composite comprising combining at least one cement matrix with at least one reinforcing fiber.
A mechanical forming too comprising an inorganic composite material.
An injection and/or stamping and/or casting mold being of inorganic composite material.
A process for manufacturing mechanical forming tool and/or mold, the process comprising the steps of:
- a) adding at least one alkaline activating solution to a mixture of at least one solid precursor, forming a cement matrix;
- b) adding at least one reinforcing fiber;
- c) adding the homogenized mixture into a pre-mold with the desired tool or mold geometry;
- and
- d) curing the mixture, optionally with the aid of heat.
