Autoclave Molding: This process involves laying up prepreg materials according to the required layers on a mold, sealing them in a vacuum bag, and then placing them into an autoclave. The autoclave heats and pressurizes the materials, completing the curing reaction and forming the prepreg into the desired shape with a smooth surface. This method is suitable for parts with complex shapes that are large in area or volume but produced in relatively small quantities.
Vacuum Curing Oven Molding: This process operates on principles similar to autoclave molding. Its advantages include the ability to produce larger parts or structures due to its larger volume and the capability to simultaneously process multiple smaller to medium-sized components. This results in lower molding costs per individual product.
High-Temperature Compression Molding: This process involves cutting prepreg materials into the desired shapes or manually stacking them into the required forms, then placing the material into a mold. The material is shaped into composite products through heating and pressing.
Induction Heating Molding:This process heats the mold directly through a heat source, causing rapid temperature increase to reach the molding and curing conditions. It operates on principles similar to high-temperature compression molding but is not limited by the size of the compression equipment, allowing for the production of large components with high dimensional accuracy.
