Before forming metallic and reinforced thermoplastics in one drawing process, some characteristic properties of the components must be considered. The metal forming processing properties of fibre-reinforced plastics differ significantly from the properties of metals. There are some special characteristics of FRPs. The big difference in the processing properties becomes especially noticeable when forming the components together. Forming of the thermoplastic material is only possible at elevated temperatures. Depending on the thermoplastic this can be up to 300 °C. A defined temperature balance is a precondition for a successful forming operation. At low temperatures the thermoplastic will not be formed successfully. If the temperature is too high, however, the thermoplastic will be decomposed and thus be destroyed.
