Properties of Water-Soluble Core-Materials Applied for LRTM

Article Preview

Abstract:

Traditional RTM process were difficult to integrally manufactured Composite components with complicated internal structures because the metal molds are heavy and expensive. LRTM process and Water-soluble core-mould materials could be used to solve the problem due to their flexibility, mechanical properties and water solubility. In this paper, manufacturing process and properties of water-soluble core-materials were studied. Moreover, using Light Resin Transfer Molding (LRTM) process to manufacture a hollow-structure, made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer.
