One of the most advanced techniques for making composite components is by using prepreg carbon fibre reinforcement, cured under heat and pressure to produce professional quality parts with a high quality surface finish, low resin content and excellent structural performance.

OOA prepregs cure at 93°C or 121°C vs. traditional autoclave at 177°C. Uncured prepreg carbon fiber is also easy to handle and can be hand-cut and laid precisely into detailed and intricate molds. This makes it an ideal process for smaller, more complex parts.

2011年1月1日 · OOA prepregs have now reached physical property parity with autoclave-cure systems for primary aircraft structure, and several are already in qualification processes.

In this video tutorial we aim to provide a complete introduction to out-of-autoclave prepregs. We explain what they are, how they are stored, shipped and handled and what moulds, equipment and materials are required to work with them.

2019年9月4日 · Understand prepreg composites and the benefits of using carbon fiber autoclave composites. Prepreg carbon fiber composites, which are widely used in the aerospace industry, are basically made of reinforced carbon fibers. These fibers are pre-impregnated with a thermoset resin matrix in a certain ratio which gives them their unique properties.

Recently, a new generation of out-of-autoclave prepregs has been introduced, and experience with these prepregs has demonstrated that it is possible to produce autoclave-quality parts using vacuum bag-only (VBO) consolidation.

XPREG® is a complete range of high performance component and tooling prepregs including systems for both autoclave and oven-only (OOA) cure. XC110 is a remarkable prepreg system designed to deliver outstanding surface finish, low void content and good mechanical properties following a vacuum bagged oven cure (out of autoclave).

mitigate out-life (OL) and tack-life of prepreg for large composites. In order to gage the performance of traditional composite prepregs and slit tape used in automated fiber placement manufacturing, a comparative study examined composite performance as a …

Prepregs are an important material in out-of-autoclave (OOA) processing for composites manufacturing. Learn about the different types of prepregs and their benefits, and see how they can improve the performance and quality of your composite parts.

Processing conditions and process parameters such as moisture content, debulk time and part length all play a major role in the ability to achieve void free out-of-autoclave (OOA) prepreg laminates.
