Electron Beam Curing of Polymer Matrix Composites - CRADA Final Report
- Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
The major cost driver in manufacturing polymer matrix composite (PMC) parts and structures, and one of the elements having the greatest effect on their quality and performance, is the standard thermal cure process. Thermal curing of PMCs requires long cure times and high energy consumption, creates residual thermal stresses in the part, produces volatile toxic by-products, and requires expensive tooling that is tolerant of the high cure temperatures.
