Learn the benefits of a process-flexible, fast-cure resin system to address challenges with scalability of aerospace composites from prototyping to mass manufacturing. While there are many proven aerospace composite products, most have known drawbacks which inhibit process efficiency and flexibility.
This webinar highlights a resin system with elevated temperature wet (ETW) tension, compression and shear properties that meet or exceed legacy aerospace systems. An additional focus will be a fiber format technology that facilitates ease of manufacturing and prevention of the occurrence of common composite layup defects.
Toray will examine the results of testing performed to characterize the cure quality and performance of the rapid cure prepreg system in process scenarios, such as efficient out-of-autoclave for prototyping and low-volume and equivalent performance in rapid press-curing for high part throughput. These test results are further validated by a part-scale demonstration of the material's handling and processing characteristics in real-world fabrication scenarios.
Agenda:
- Common industry challenges of scalability and mass production of composites in aerospace and advanced air mobility (AAM)
- Resin technology and how it factors into handling, curing and design for manufacturing (DFM)
- Behavior of prepreg material when switching between process methodologies
