The FRP hot press tank process is a high-temperature and high-pressure forming method mainly used in the manufacturing of carbon fiber composite materials. The following is a detailed introduction to the FRP hot press tank process:
1、 Process principle
Lay the carbon fiber prepreg on the mold according to the layer requirements, then seal the blank in a vacuum bag and place it in a hot press tank. In a vacuum state, the material is softened and tightly adhered to the mold by using the uniform temperature and pressure provided by the hot press tank equipment through temperature rise, pressure rise, insulation, temperature drop, and pressure relief procedures, ultimately achieving solidification and molding.
2、 Process characteristics
High precision in temperature and pressure control: Hot press equipment can provide precise temperature and pressure control to ensure the quality of product molding.
Wide applicability: This process is suitable for manufacturing carbon fiber composite parts with complex shapes and large areas, and is widely used in fields such as aerospace, transportation, and sports equipment.
Mature technology: The hot press can process has been developed and applied for a long time, and the technology is mature, stable, and reliable.
3、 Process flow
Preparation process: including the preparation of molds, carbon fiber prepreg, and auxiliary materials.
Material laying: Cut, lay and compact the carbon fiber prepreg according to the design requirements.
Curing preparation: Carry out preparation work such as bagging, cutting and laying of auxiliary materials.
Solidification molding: Heating and pressurization are carried out in a high temperature and high pressure environment to solidify the material into shape.
Testing and post-processing: Conduct visual inspection, ultrasonic or X-ray non-destructive testing on the product, and make necessary adjustments to meet the design requirements.
