Validation of Thermoplastic Composites Forming Simulations
Original language description
Press forming of thermoplastic continuous fiber composite materials is a high-efficiency manufacturing process enabled by the properties of thermoplastic matrices, which can be remelted multiple times. Flat laminates of desired layups are usually consolidated on large continual forming presses. The laminates are cut into blanks from which is then final part formed. These blanks undergo heating in an infrared oven, causing the thermoplastic matrix to melt. Subsequently, they are rapidly transported to the press area and formed. Tooling is heated to temperature that is lower than melting temperature of matrix, ensuring immediate cooling upon contact. This allows manufacturing cycle that can be done in a few minutes (depends on matrix material, part thickness, oven power, etc.), which is significantly lower time than for conventional manufacturing process utilizing thermoset prepregs and autoclave curing.
