The aim of this study was to design a tooling system for manufacturing automotive components using a natural fiber polymer composite (NFPC) material. As a case study, an automotive battery cover was selected and a compression molding tool was designed, keeping in mind the need for the simplicity of the tool and ensuring the low cost of this process. However, since the original part was injection-molded with virgin polypropene, some vital changes made in the part and tool design process were documented as a guideline to show new designers how to approach the design of parts and tools using a natural fiber polymer composite material. Additionally, the challenges faced during the manufacturing of composite parts with the new tool were also documented and solutions to these challenges were suggested for large-scale production. Finally, compressive testing was performed to evaluate the performance of the structure of the designed part and to compare the recycled polymer with NFPC material. Both wood and palm fiber composite material perform better in compression testing compared to the recycled polymer material.

This paper reports a comprehensive laboratory study into the thermophysical, physical-mechanical characteristics, and tribological properties of the designed composite materials based on polytetrafluoroethylene. In the structures of machines and mechanisms, a significant role belongs to the tribological conjugations made from polymeric and polymer-composite materials. The reliability of machines, in general, depends to a large extent on the reliability of movable connections. Composite materials of nonmetallic origin have a low cost, they are resistant to most aggressive chemicals and are capable of operating under conditions without lubrication. It was established that the characteristics and properties of materials must be adapted to the working conditions of separately considered tribological conjugations. The mechanisms of thermal destruction have been established, both in the basic material and the carbon fiber based on it. It was found that carbon fiber, regardless of its content (quantity) in the polymer-composite material based on polytetrafluoroethylene, is mainly oriented perpendicular to the force application plane. It was found that with an increase in the carbon fiber content from 10 to 40 % by weight, the heat capacity decreases by 16‒39 % compared to the main material. The optimal operating modes for the designed composite materials have been substantiated on the basis of a pv factor: under a dry friction mode – up to 4 MPa∙m/s; at friction with lubrication – up to 36.4 MPa∙m/s. The dependence has been established of the friction coefficient on the operating modes of a composite material based on polytetrafluoroethylene containing 20 % by weight of carbon fiber when lubricated with oil and water. The results reported here make it possible to synthesize the physical-mechanical characteristics and tribological properties of composite materials in accordance with the required modes of tribological conjugation.
