Effect of Compaction and Preforming Parameters on the Compaction Behavior of Bindered Textile Preforms for Automated Composite Manufacturing
Source abstract
Abstract
The effect of compaction and preforming parameters on the Fiber Volume Fraction (FVF) and the Residual Preform Thickness (RPT) of bindered textile preforms during a compaction experiment was investigated by using Taguchi method. Four compaction and preforming parameters of compaction temperature (A), binder activation temperature (B), binder content (C) and binder activation time (D) were selected and optimized with respect to the FVF at specified compaction pressure (0.2 MPa) and the RPT after compaction. The results reveal that the compaction behavior of bindered textile preforms has been significantly influenced due to the presence of preforming binder. From all the selected experiment parameters the compaction temperature is the most influential factors on the FVF and RPT. The significant sequence of the parameters for the resulting FVF can be concluded as ABDC, which represents compaction temperature, binder activation temperature, binder activation time and binder content respectively, while this sequence is changed as ADCB as far as the RPT is concerned. The FVF during compaction and RPT during release were correlated with the compaction and preforming parameters using a modified four-parameter-compaction-model which has been proposed for describing the compaction behavior of bindered textile preforms.
