The carbon fiber autoclave molding technology is to place the carbon fiber composite material blank in a vacuum bag in the autoclave, then turn on the vacuum pump to evacuate, and after a certain period of vacuum heating in the autoclave, the carbon fiber is completely solidified. The heating temperature, pressure and time of carbon fiber autoclave molding are not fixed and need to change according to different resin matrices. In addition, the air in the vacuum bag must be evacuated before high-temperature curing, otherwise it will affect the performance of carbon fiber products.
Advantages of carbon fiber autoclave molding
The entire process of autoclave molding is stable and safe, and the performance of the carbon fiber products produced is stable and reliable. This is because the pressure in the autoclave is evenly distributed and transmitted to the surface of the carbon fiber component through the vacuum bag. During the entire processing process, the temperature and pressure are relatively constant, and the hot air flow inside the autoclave is continuously circulated to heat the carbon fiber components. The autoclave will be equipped with a cooling system to ensure that the temperature does not change and remains constant during the heating and molding process.
Carbon fiber autoclave molding has a wide range of applications
The production of carbon fiber products using autoclave molding technology has been widely promoted and is suitable for manufacturing military airborne radomes, fairings, aircraft doors, wings and other products. Military products and aerospace have strict performance requirements for carbon fiber, and strength, weight, durability, etc. all need to be taken into consideration. Autoclave technology brings more stable performance and lower porosity to carbon fiber components.
