Horizontal High Pressure Composite Carbon Fiber Autoclave Pressure Vessel Of Aircraft Making

1. Brief Introduction

 In the last ten years we have seen the evolution of new materials, with excellent mechanical and physical features. The mechanical resistance, together with the lightness of composite materials, are finding more and more applications. We call composite material the product obtained from the polymerization of carbon fibers and resins, adequately prepared and shaped overlapping coats of fibers and resin on moulds or cores.

The autoclave is a key equipment for hot-pressing shaping of carbon fibers and resin matrix composites ( polyimide, bismaleimide, epoxy resin and thermoplastic resin matrices, etc. ), In fact, the quality of the product is obtained inside the autoclave reaching an increase of mechanical features up to 20-30% compared to other methods of polymerization, which do not foresee the outside pressurization of the product.

The reliability and the precision of the cycles which can be obtained with autoclave, allow to reach and keep high quality standards of the product, which is widely used in the high-tech fields such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, weapon, traffic, sports equipments and new type of energy, etc.
