Abstract

Composite honeycomb sandwich plate is light and strong. It is easy to produce. It began to be applied to the bodyshell of rolling stock. Generally, weight saving amounts to 27%. However, the material cost of it is much higher than that of aluminum extrusion profile, which prevents popular use of it for bodyshell. In this paper, manufacturing processes of two light materials were compared to investigate cost impact. After cost breakdown was defined, economics of two materials was analyzed using the previous cost data. Easy production of composite bodyshell could compensate for higher material cost. Mass production of composite bodyshell can make the equipment cost lower for the composite bodyshell so that it may have strong competitiveness to the aluminum bodyshell. Operational energy saving due to weight reduction was also presented referring to the actual statistical data in a metro line.

허니컴 샌드위치 복합재는 가볍고 강하며, 제작하기가 편리한 장점이 있어 철도차량 차체에 적용되기 시작하였다. 보통 중량감소량은 27%에 달하나, 재료비가 알루미늄 압출재에 비해 높기 때문에 차체에 널리 적용되지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 두 가지 경량화 재질에 대하여 제작 과정을 고찰하고 원가를 분류하여 과거 자료를 기초로한 경제성을 분석하였다. 복합재 차체의 재료비 상승분을 제작의 용이성으로 상쇄할 수 있으며, 대량생산에 따른 장비비를 저감하면 알루미늄 차체에 비해 경쟁력을 가질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 지하철 노선의 통계자료를 참고로 하여 중량 감소에 따른 운행 에너지 감소량도 제시하였다.
