Reliable Field Measurements to Drive Quality in Composite Manufacturing
Every mould and all composite material system have their own thermal specifics. Tool design, thermal conductivity, melting energies, exothermic reaction, etc. set high requirements on the thermo-profiles for the inital commissioning of the mould-part system.
A uniform distribution of the temperature inside the heat treatment chamber is essential for a predictable process result. Local effects of doors, openings, insulation inequalities, local air flow recirculations, etc. have to be considered.
The transfer of the heat energy from the surrounding atmosphere into the mould and part depends strongly on the local temperature difference, pressure and the local wind speed.
The air flow behaviour inside the oven or autoclave is highly complex. It is influenced by the system design and the loading which is applied to the chamber.
