Comparative Study of Optimization in Pultrusion with Pre-Heating and Die-Cooler Temperature for Improved Cure

Abstract:

Pultrusion is a composite manufacturing technique for processing continuous composite profiles with a constant cross section. In such system, energy and mass balances are used to model the thermal and kinetic behavior of the material during processing. This work aims to compare the results obtained in the recent literature, regarding thermal optimization of pultrusion. In the present analysis, an alternative thermal configuration has been suggested, with the objective of maximizing the mean degree of cure. A general-purpose FE software, ANSYS-CFX^®, has been used to perform a three-dimensional (3D) conductive heat transfer analysis. Several case studies were conducted where the degree of cure was analyzed for varying heating scenarios. Results have shown that it is possible to get a higher cure in less process time if the die is isolated from the environment.
