There are dozens of molding processes for fiber composite materials, of which the carbon fiber autoclave mold process is the most widely used and the most common molding method.
Carbon fiber autoclave mold refers to laying carbon fiber prepreg on the mold according to the layup requirements, sealing the blank in a vacuum bag and placing it in a carbon fiber autoclave. Under the vacuum state, through the procedures of heating, pressurizing, heat preservation, cooling and pressure relief of the autoclave equipment, the uniform temperature and uniform pressure provided in the autoclave can be used to achieve solidification, so that the surface and internal quality can be formed. Carbon fiber composite parts with complex shapes and huge areas.
Carbon fiber autoclave molds are widely used in high-tech fields such as aerospace, composite materials, electronics, weapons, transportation, sports equipment and new energy. At present, the autoclave process, as one of the forming methods of carbon fiber composite components, is also widely used by many carbon fiber composite parts manufacturers.
Advantages of carbon fiber autoclave molds
(1) The pressure of the carbon fiber autoclave mold is uniform: use gas to pressurize, and the pressure is applied to the surface of the product through the vacuum bag, and the normal pressure at each point is equal, so that the part is cured and formed under the same pressure.
(2) The temperature of the carbon fiber autoclave mold is uniform and adjustable: the circulating hot air in the tank heats the workpiece, and the temperature difference is small everywhere. At the same time, the cooling system is configured, so that the temperature can be strictly controlled within the process setting range.
(3) The carbon fiber autoclave mold has a wide range of applications: the mold is relatively simple and the efficiency is high. It is suitable not only for plates and shells with large and complex surfaces, but also for plates, rods, tubes and blocks with simple shapes. It can also be used for glued assembly.
(4) The molding process of carbon fiber autoclave mold is stable and reliable: the pressure and temperature are uniform, adjustable and controllable, so that the quality of the molded or handed products is consistent and reliable; the porosity is low, and the resin content is controllable and uniform; it can be pumped during pressurization Vacuum, so that low molecular weight is easy to discharge.
