摘要:
Methods and systems for manufacturing fiber-reinforced resin parts are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a fiber-reinforced resin part includes positioning a plurality of fibers on a mold surface of a female tool, and covering the fibers with a sealing layer. The method further includes pressing a portion of the covered fibers against an interior transition region (e.g., an internal radius) of the mold surface. While the portion of covered fibers is pressed against the interior transition region, air is removed from between the sealing layer and the mold surface to draw at least a partial vacuum between the sealing layer and the mold surface.

A composite item is fabricated in system that includes a layer of preform, supply of resin, mandrel, and bagging film. The layer of preform corresponds to the composite item. The supply of resin is sufficient to infuse the preform. The mandrel includes a preform receiving zone to receive the layer of preform and a resin receiving zone to receive the supply of resin. The resin receiving zone is adjacent to the preform receiving zone. The bagging film is operable to generate an envelope surrounding the preform receiving zone and the resin receiving zone.

A method for fabricating a laminated composite body including a metal foil and a plurality of fiber plies. The method includes perforating a sheet of metal foil, stacking the perforated metal foil sheet and the plurality of fiber plies in face to face relation in a predetermined order and orientation, and infusing resin into the stacked sheet and plies so that resin flows through the perforations in the metal foil sheet and intersperses between the plurality of fiber plies to form the laminated composite body.
摘要:
Fiber reinforced composite structures having curved stepped surfaces are fabricated by laying up plies of fiber reinforced material over a tool having a stepped tool feature. The plies are rotated about a fixed axis as they are laid up to substantially form a fixed axis rosette pattern. The plies are angularly oriented such that at least certain of the plies have fiber orientations other than 0, +45, −45 and 90 degrees. Potential bridging of the fibers over the stepped tool features is reduced or eliminated by cutting slits in the plies in the area of the stepped features, so that the plies can be fully compacted.

The disclosure is directed to a process for producing resin infused composite parts having improved structural performance and improved surface appearance. The process comprises the steps of positioning a dry composite preform on a forming tool component, arranging resin exit lines in close proximity to the perform, placing a permeable release material on the perform, and placing a first piece of flow media over the release material. The process further comprises the steps of wrapping a resin distribution tube with a second piece of flow media, placing a vacuum bag layer over the forming tool component, preform, release material, first and second pieces of flow media and resin distribution tube, such that the resin distribution tube is retained in a pleat formed in the vacuum bag layer and such that a bagged preform is formed, and positioning the resin distribution tube above the bagged preform.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a process for elimination of deformations on resin infused composite parts in which the resin distribution tube used in a resin vacuum infusion process is positioned above the surface of a preform and is not in contact with the preform. Flow media indirectly connects the resin distribution tube to the preform which allows for free movement of resin without direct contact of the resin distribution tube to the perform, and thus, this eliminates deformations that are caused by direct contact of the resin distribution tube to the preform.
