Resin vacuum infusion of a carbon AIREX® panel

Ғылым және технология

Resin vacuum infusion of a 6 mm 70.55 AIREX®panel. Face sheets are 100 g/m² non-crimp biaxial carbon fabric and 100 g/m² flax fabric. Resin channels and perforations were created with a small screwdriver in the AIREX® sheet. No flow media is used and needed. The flax fabric acts as a splinter guard in case of breach. Epoxy resin used: HP-E300GL.

    @André Chavarría Hello, se are having issues with the flow of the resine below the fiber, between the mold and the carbon fiber. The resine won't flow through all the Surface. So my fiber is not moist completely. We are not having problems with the vacuum, the resine is well diluted. We are using peelply and a mesh.

    Infusion of AIREX on both sides in one shot is challenging. You do not have control over what is happening on the bottom side. You need to use flow media on both sides. If the bottom layers are still not properly wetted, Increase the number of flow channels and pin holes. Also, try infusing somewhat slower to give the bottom side more time to wetten before the top side finishes and you close the line. The bottom flow media should have direct contact to the feed line. If you are infusing the bottom side without an own flow media, i.e. directly on a mold, then many channels and pin holes are needed. Roughly every 10 to 15 mm (half an inch) there should be a pin hole connecting both sides. However, this will make the sandwich heavy...

    @@andreschavarria1450 Muchas gracias por su respuesta. Haremos pruebas según sus recomendaciones. Le comento que estamos utilizando Airex ranurado en la fabricación de un vehículo solar que participará en la carrera solar de atacama de vehículos solares. Es un proyecto universitario. Le comentaré los resultados . Gracias de nuevo

    Hola, si se trata de hacer piezas muy ligeras, les recomiendo hacer el sandwich sin infusion. Es decir, a mano con rollos y controlando la cantidad de resina. Con un poco de experiencia, se pueden hacer piezas extremadamente ligeras y de muy buena calidad. Ve por ejemplo la siguiente entrada en nuestro blog: hortenmicrolight.wordpress.com/2018/04/30/testing-structural-foam-sandwiches/ ¡Esas piezas pesan menos de 1 kg por metro cuadrado! Con infusion pesarian alrededor de 2 kg. Eviten impregnar directamente sobre el Airex: La capa de fibra que va directamente sobre el molde se impregna con rollos usando solo la cantidad necesaria de resina. La capa interna se impregna con resina sobre un plastico antes de ponerla sobre el Airex. Asi evitan que el Airex se llene de resina. La infusion llena completamente los poros de la superficie del Airex y el peso sube mucho. Ademas es dificil controlar el flujo sobre la superficie del molde. Sobre todo si uno usa "in mold coating", no hay manera de controlar que las fibras hayan sido impregnadas correctamente. Suerte y Muchos saludos, Andrés

    It is not entirely clear from the video - the composition of the sandwich is as follows: carbon-flax-foam layer - flax - carbon? Only 5 layers?

    Two quasi-isotropic face sheets, a layer of flax on top as preotection and a PVC core. The exact composition isn't that relevant, as it depends on the needs of application. No high count of layers are needed, as using thickness at low total weight is the basic idea of sandwiches.
