Effect of Gravity on Resin Flow Behavior by VARI Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The resin flow behavior in vacuum assisted resin infusion molding process (VARI) of foam sandwich materials was studied through visualization flow experiments. The experimental results show: Gravity of resin makes the mold filling time increase when θ changes from 0° to 90°, and mold filling time lengthens with the increase of θ; gravity shortens the filling time when θ changes from 0° to -90°, and mold filling time decreases with the increase of the absolute value of θ.
