Composites Supportability Rapid Test and Evaluation
Abstract
Materials investigations were conducted in the general areas of adhesive bonding, composite materials, aircraft transparencies, and elastomeric seals. These studies were oriented towards characterization of new materials and processes, development of repair techniques, development of new processing techniques, and solution of current operational problems involving materials and processing. Some qualification testing was carried out on new materials. Studies involved the characterization of inorganic and water-based primers for adhesive bonding, adhesive and resins for aircraft repair, novel surface preparation procedures for aluminum and composite adherends, high temperature adhesives, bonding of aluminum castings, composite paint removal techniques, techniques to prepare thermoplastic prepreg, use of induction heating to cure composites, honeycomb repair procedures, evaluation of heat lamps for curing of composite repair patches, assessment of resin transfer molding for filament wound structure, studies of battle-damage-repair techniques for aircraft transparencies, and determination of aircraft fuel and lubricating oil compatibility with elastomeric seal materials.
