Autoclave Moulding of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics.

Abstract

The numerous facets of autoclave moulding have been investigated in order to provide an improved understanding of empirically derived cure cycles. Such features as partial-cure, dwell-time, dual vacuum, and dual pressure have been examined and their significance in relation to laminate quality explained.
