真空成型与热压罐成型复合材料的性能对比

针对一种碳纤维单向预浸料ZT7G/LT-03A及碳纤维平纹织物预浸料ZT7G3198P/LT-03A,采用热压罐成型工艺和真空成型工艺各制备了3批次复合材料,测试预浸料的物理性能以及复合材料层合板的力学性能,通过对两种制备工艺得到的复合材料力学性能、纤维体积含量及孔隙率的对比分析发现,该体系真空成型复合材料性能的保持率均在75%以上,有的甚至超过100%。对于碳纤维单向预浸料来说,层间剪切的保持率最低,0°拉伸强度的保持率最高;对于织物复合材料来说,0°压缩强度的保持率最低,0°拉伸的保持率最高。同时真空成型复合材料纤维体积含量较低,孔隙率较高,是影响其性能的主要原因。

Comparison of Composites Properties Manufactured by Vacuum Process and Autoclave Process

Two kinds of prepregs ZT7G/LT-03A(unidirectional carbon fiber prepreg) and ZT7G3198P/LT-03A(plain carbon fabric prepreg) were used to manufacture three Bateches of composites by vacuum process and autoclave process respectively. The physical properties of the prepregs and mechanical properties of composite were tested. The performance, fiber volume content and porosity of composites manufactured by vacuum cure and autoclave process show that the physical property retention rates of vacuum cured compos-ites are all over 75%, some even more than 100%. Interlaminar shear strength keeps the lowest retention rate and warp tensile strength keeps the highest retention in unidirectional carbon fiber composites. For fabric composite material, compression strength keeps the lowest and warp tensile strength keeps the highest retention. Vacuum cured composites perform lower fiber volume content and higher porosity, which are the main reasons of the lower performance.
