In situ measurements of resin pressure were deployed to test the hypothesis that resin pressure was maintained during prepreg cure when using a semi-permeable release film. Concurrently, visualization of the tool-side surface during cure revealed efficient evacuation of entrapped air. Porosity in laminates formed at high temperatures when using resin-permeable consumables, but did not form when using resin-impermeable (semi-permeable) consumables. To confirm that the observed void growth behavior was due to a loss in resin pressure, experiments were conducted to measure resin pressure during cure with both resin-permeable and resin-impermeable (semi-permeable) consumables. In both cases, resin pressure peaked before decreasing, a finding attributed to resin flowing to fill dry regions in the fabric, present by design. The drop in resin pressure, however, was greater in magnitude and longer in duration when using resin-permeable edge and bag-side surface boundaries, indicating that the observed void growth at elevated temperature was caused by a loss in resin pressure. Use of a semi-permeable membrane was effective in retaining resin content and mitigating such porosity.

During the manufacturing of CF-PEKK laminates, a pseudo-amorphous PEKK film is consolidated to its surface which acts as interlayer polymer during subsequent joining (brazing). Five different brazing temperatures, determined from thermal analysis of the material, are characterized for their weld quality mechanically, analytically, and through ultrasonic testing. Microanalytically Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) investigations focus on the morphology of the weld zone in order to evaluate the diffusion processes at the interfaces. Compared to Differential Scanning Calorimetry measurements, the SEM investigations offer a basic understanding of the welded process and its influence on the welding properties. A welding temperature of 60 °C below the processing temperature of CF-PEKK laminates (380 °C) is shown to yield a welding factor of 0.93. Furthermore, based on the SEM investigation, it is possible to derive more promising improvement measures for the brazing method.

To increase the mechanical properties without changing the part weight, these foams can be transformed into structural foams by a newly developed two-step isochoric and isothermal hot press process. Structural foams consist of a low-density foam core and two high-density polymer skins. The production of a polymer skin on the surface of a foam was realized in a hot press process by heating one tool half to process temperatures above glass transition temperature of the amorphous polymer. To manufacture polymer skins on both sides of the foam, it is necessary to turn the foam upside down and repeat the procedure. Structural foams were manufactured with two different polymer foams with different cell structures and densities. Optical analysis of microsections was used to investigate the formation of the polymer skins and the change in foam structure. This study investigates the applicability of an empirical relationship between part densities and bending properties. It was found, that knowledge about the part density alone is not sufficient for the prediction of the bending properties, because the foam structure (e.g. open or closed foam cells) has a considerable impact on the foam properties.

Honeycomb sandwich structures are co-cured to bond partially-cured thermoset prepreg facesheets with an adhesive layer to the core structure, during which multiple physical phenomena occur simultaneously. A physics-based predictive tool is developed to simulate this process by integration of sub-models for the adhesive bond-line fillet shape, facesheet consolidation process, and the porosity development within the bond-line, which, due to the coupling effects, is highly dependent on the former two phenomena. In this work, the experimental validation of both the individual sub-models and an integrated model for bond-line porosity is conducted. Despite the stochastic behavior of the co-cure process, the models successfully capture trends in adhesive fillet shape and the bond-line porosity, demonstrating their utility as tools for process screening to maximize the quality of co-cured parts.

One significant challenge involves understanding multilayer prepreg tapes’ compaction behavior to optimise the process’s efficiency and improve the final laminate properties. Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) is a suitable process for the automated manufacture of high-quality aerospace structures with reproducible properties. The compaction analysis offers the potential to reduce subsequent steps during other related compaction stages in the process, such as vacuum debulking or autoclave curing. A cyclic compaction-recovery test that approximates AFP conditions was performed with a rheometer. An experimental analysis was conducted into different parameters’ qualitative influence on uncured multilayer thermoset prepreg samples’ compressibility and their characteristics during load release, using a rheometer on a laboratory scale. The variables manipulated were: temperature, pressure, the number of plies, ply configuration, and tape type. The results showed that temperature strongly influenced the thickness reduction until a compaction threshold was approached, and the pressure level’s effect on the final thickness depended greatly on the temperature. The thickness reduction was greater at higher temperatures until a compaction threshold was observed. Further investigations are recommended to gain insight into the flow mechanism within the sample and its void content after compaction to use the data to optimise the parameters.

The combination of these two strategies provides a promising approach for large volume production of automotive components. In this context, a novel test system is presented, which allows the textile reaction characterization to saturated out-of-plane fluid flow at injection pressure levels of up to 200 bar. For any given engineering textile, the resulting out-of-plane permeability and total hydrodynamic compaction can be measured for different combinations of initial fiber volume content, number of layers and injection pressure. Initial tests on a conventional non-crimp fabric show a compaction-induced out-of-plane permeability decrease for pressure levels up to 95 bar, while for pressure levels between 95 and 170 bar the permeability remains constant. In other words above 95 bar, a further increase in pressure directly pays off in terms of increased flow rate. The identification of such processing windows can be very valuable for process design.

Effects of co-cure on void formation at the tool-side facesheet surface remain unclear. We employ autoclave processing and an in situ visualization technique to elucidate physical mechanisms by which surface porosity forms, and the effects of pressure on this formation. Results displayed a multi-stage development, including evacuation of entrapped air, followed by evolution and subsequent entrapment of dissolved volatiles in the prepreg resin, and demonstrated the utility of elevated pressure in reducing porosity.
