PPT-HAND (WET) LAY-UP COMBINING OF REINFORCING FIBER AND RESIN AT THE TIME OF PART FABRICATION

REINFORCING FIBER Eglass Sglass Aramid CarbonGraphite Eglass most common process inherently produces lower quality composite laminate due to lack of tight resin content control and low compaction pressure. (MATCHED-DIE MOLDING). COMPRESSION MOLDING PROCESS. materials (fiber/resin) preweighed to a specific size charge, placed in a (closed) mold, and heat and pressure applied in a press. RESINS AND REINFORCEMENTS USED IN COMPRESSION MOLDING PROCESS. LAY-UP. COMBINING OF REINFORCING FIBER AND RESIN AT THE TIME OF PART FABRICATION. REINFORCING FIBER. E-glass, S-glass, . Aramid. , Carbon/Graphite. E-glass most common (process inherently produces lower "quality" composite laminate due to lack of tight resin content control and low compaction pressure). Particulate and Fiber Composites. Advanced composite – composed of two or more chemically different materials. In most cases the fiber is a reinforcing material separated by an interface from the matrix. WHAT IS SPRAY-UP?. one or more continuous fiber . rovings. fed through a chopper. fiber . rovings. are cut to predetermined lengths. chopped fibers are propelled into resin stream. resin and chopped fibers are deposited simultaneously on mold. RTM PROCESS. impregnating preformed dry reinforcement in a closed mold with wet thermosetting resin under pressure. production rate comparison. 2 - 8 . pph. (parts per hour). spray-up . @. 0.5 . pph. hand lay-up. is used in low-volume production of large products, e.g., wind turbine components, concrete forms, and . radomes. . A pigmented gel coat is first sprayed onto the mold for a high-quality surface. When the gel coat has cured, glass reinforcing mat and/or woven roving is placed on the mold, and the catalyzed resin is poured, brushed or sprayed on. Manual rolling then removes entrapped air, compacts the composite, and thoroughly wets the reinforcement with the resin. . FILAMENT WINDING PROCESS. fiber delivery system, traversing at speeds synchronized with the mandrel rotation, controls winding angles and the placement of the reinforcement. may be wound in adjacent bands or in repeating patterns which ultimately cover the mandrel surface. Fiber. The basic unit from which fabric is made. They can be natural or manufactured. . Yarn. Yarn. A continuous length of interlocking fibers that have been twisted together. . Fabric. Fabric. The textile produced by weaving or knitting yarns together. . An introduction to composites design and manufacturing. Potential Instructors. Fred Briggs. Bo Pollett. Class list. 11/23/13 – 13:00.

Here at Rock West Composites, we are growing as well. We just released a new line of advanced carbon fiber panels for architectural and interior design. At any rate, not all carbon fiber products are what they purport to be. Visit: https://www.rockwestcomposites.com/shop Composites Group. E. Anderssen, N Hartman,. LBNL. July 2005. E. Anderssen LBNL. Goal of Talk. This is a somewhat heuristic approach to design for fabrication, assuming that you have a part design in mind, and some idea of what the laminate needs to look like, i.e. you know Classical Laminated Plate Theory….
