A thermoplastic composite structure is produced by consolidating and forming a composite preform to a desired shape. The preform comprises plies of a high melt temperature thermoplastic prepreg that are tacked together by a low melt temperature thermoplastic adhering the plies together in fixed registration.

An overlap production method of using standard coiled material, comprising the steps of: selecting a standard coiled material, designing a pattern, laser cutting according to the design pattern, cutting or reserving spaces for inserting drawn strips, forming by staggering and overlapping each layer of standard coiled material, and inserting partial materials of a standard coiled material layer into an adjacent standard coiled material and fixing it with the partial materials of the adjacent standard coiled material, or inserting the drawn strips into the spaces reserved in each layer, and combining the composition and the base clothing to make a product. The present invention produces the product with the above production method by using standard coiled materials instead of thread or strip materials, which not only achieves the goal of higher production efficiency and lower cost, but also makes the finished products have a new staggered material effect.

A method of producing a gasket in which burrs can be prevented from being formed, and a mold failure can be suppressed, and a gasket are provided. A method of producing a gasket includes: a step S1 of preparing a metal mesh member and expanded graphite; a step S2 of placing the metal mesh member around the expanded graphite in a manner that a long belt-like composite body in which the expanded graphite is enveloped by the metal mesh member is formed; a step S4 of adjusting the shapes of longitudinal end portions of the composite body in a manner that, in the short-side direction of the composite body, the width dimensions of the longitudinal end portions of the composite body are smaller than the width dimension of a longitudinal middle portion of the composite body; a step S5 of spirally winding the composite body in a manner that a tubular body in a multiply wound state in which an axial direction coincides with the short-side direction of the composite body is formed; and a step S6 of compress molding the tubular body in the axial direction of the tubular body.
