Composites materials represents an important and notable trend in automotive engineering progress.

Composites materials based on Carbon Fiber are capable of improving mechanical strength and increased stability in condition of high pressure and temperature using dissipation of force in the composite structure. These properties are also influenced by the manufacturing routes for fibers, treatments – that are now established as an integral part of fiber manufacture. For example, while pitch-based precursor fiber lead to higher module ( 900 GPa instead of 600 GPa ) , the PAN-based precursor fiber has a higher strength.

After obtaining fiber, following their conversion to performs using RTM.

To achive cylinder liner using winding technology, the fiber will be passed through resin, then, it will be wrapped on a sliding cylinder. This technological process involves a mixture of

60 % carbon fiber and 40 % epoxy resin.

At the end of the manufacturing process, the cylinder wall thickness must be large enough to withstand the stresses which take place while the engine is running.

A disadvantage of winding technology is the excess of resin. After passing through the resin, the carbon fiber is not drained enough and will derive a cylinder liner with resin excess.

We desire to improve this technology, using a resin sprayer, thus, the present investigation conclude that the resin excess is removed in order to keep constant the proportion inside the mixture.

The objectives of the study is to analyze, on the one hand, the possibility of replacing traditional materials with composites materials based on Carbon Fiber to obtain cylinder liners using winding technology we’ve improved, on the other hand, the advantages of using Carbon Fiber in terms of performance and cost saving for family cars . Carbon fiber components are lightweight and durable. They can be successfully used cars because it offers safety and help in getting a better drag coefficient. A car lighter requires a less powerful engine, thus having a lower consumption.

The mechanical resultants obtained will demonstrate the quality and advantages of Carbon Fiber for maximal performance.
