In composites, heat transfer follows resin injection and this heat transfer is very sensitive to processing conditions. High-quality heat flux sensors permit detection of the resin flow front and ...

In the injection molding of plastics, in-mold sensors, as part of a variety of process control packages, have been around for decades. But comparatively recently, similar technology has begun to make ...

Vacuum-Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (Vartm) could provide low-cost and high-volume readily applicable to large-scale structures, including airframes, according to the Center of Excellence for ...

Toyota Motor Corp. has added more carbon fiber production capacity in house, and it's not just for supercars and not just about cutting weight. Core Molding Technologies Inc. is expanding its ...

Hawthorn Composites delivers high value complex composites by deploying low cost materials with liquid infusion and novel manufacturing methods. This combination significantly lowers labor and ...

Combining a high-pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM) process with carbon fiber pre-processed to incorporate a binder resin has reportedly realized an an integrated production system for carbon ...

Researchers in Germany are investigating the use of in-mold pressure sensors to control mold filling in high-pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM). The goal is a potential new means of improving ...

Magnum Venus Products, a global manufacturer of fluid movement and production solutions for industrial applications, is launching a new process for closed molding to increase part production by ...

Assessing pure resins or resin-fiberglass composites is straightforward and only requires the placement of the sample on the sensor. However, a conductive fiber contacting the sensor in carbon-fiber ...

Resin casting lets you produce parts that would be otherwise impossible to make without a full CNC and injection molding set-up. It costs about as much as a 3d printer, 300 to 600 US dollars, to get a ...

Therefore, there is a need to optimize the processing parameters for the homogeneous dispersion of clay into epoxies and to study the scope of combining two types of glass fibers in the development of ...
