What you need to know about SMC Machined Part

What is SMC Machined Part?

SMC machined part is molded from unsaturated polyester glass fiber reinforced laminate molded products in various colors.  It’s short for sheet molding compound. The main raw materials are GF (special yarn), UP (unsaturated resin), low shrinkage additives, MD (filler) and various additives.  It first appeared in Europe in the early 1960s, and was developed in the United States and Japan around 1965.  At the end of 80′s, our country introduced foreign advanced SMC production line and production technology.

Properties of SMC Machined Part

High mechanical strength: SMC machined part  has high mechanical strength and can withstand greater external force. It is suitable for a variety of industrial applications‌.

Flame retardant: SMC machined part has good flame retardant performance and can effectively prevent the spread of fire in the case of fire‌.

Arc resistance and dielectric properties: SMC machined part has excellent arc resistance and dielectric properties. It is suitable for the insulation needs in the electrical industry‌.

Chemical corrosion resistance: SMC machined part can resist acid, alkali and other chemical substances corrosion. It is suitable for a variety of harsh environment‌.

‌Light weight and high strength: The specific modulus is equivalent to steel, but the strength can reach 4 times that of steel. So SMC machined part is suitable for lightweight applications‌.

‌Long service life: The simulated aging test shows that the service life of SMC machined part is more than 20 years, which is far more than the traditional metal materials‌.

‌Heat resistance: SMC machined part can withstand higher temperatures. It is suitable for high temperature environment‌.

‌Easy to process: The processing technology is simple and the cost is relatively low. So SMC machined part is suitable for mass production‌.

What Are the Benefits of Using SMC Machined Parts?

SMC machined part offers many benefits over other insulation materials. SMC machined part has excellent electrical insulation properties and is highly resistant to moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. Additionally, SMC machined part is lightweight, making it ideal for use in applications where weight is a concern. SMC machined part offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, which results in improved performance, easier installation, and better product transport, as well as lower environmental impact and fuel emissions. The SMC machined part is also easy to manufacture, which makes it a cost-effective solution for many industries.
