Analysis and Control of Heat Transfer in an Industrial Composite Mold in RTM Polyester Automotive Process
Source abstract
Abstract
A composite mold was developed to manufacture pieces by the resin transfer molding process. This mold can be instrumented with different sensors which allows us to obtain great amounts of information during realistic conditions of production. The main features of the mold, as well as the used metrology, are detailed. The results of different experiments and the influence of temperature on the molding are presented. The experimental heat fluxes are compared to the predictions of a kinetic model. A thermal optimization of the curing cycle is proposed.
