RTV tooling evaluation. Final Report. [RTV = room temperature vulcanized]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6598716
The feasibility of using Room Temperature Volcanized (RTV) silicon encapsulation molds to lower tooling and production costs for multiwire cables was evaluated. This study indicated that savings could be realized without comprising quality by making wood instead of aluminum mold masters. By designing RTV molds with removable rigid members, all critical encapsulation dimension tolerances could be held. Substantial savings are expected by using reinforced RTV molds for production.
