A variety of weave patterns are possible, but in practice, they are limited to a few standard types. (See Refs. ) Fabric is the term used for woven fibrous or filamentary materials. The material itself is furnished as a dry cloth or as a pre-impregnated material. Fabrics may be used in the hand lay-up method of fabrication with a wet lay-up resin or in the form of a pre-preg. Pre-pregs also may be laid up by automated methods. In these operations, one or more plies of wet resin-impregnated cloth or pre-preg material are usually laid up on some form of tool and are then cured under carefully controlled conditions of heat and pressure.
See Ref. ) 33 CARE AND REPAIR OF ADVANCED COMPOSITES On the other hand, Technora aramid fiber exhibits high strength retention in both acids and alkalis. Check the data sheet for each type and manufacturer before selecting an aramid for a particular application. 3% Teijin Ltd. , the one used in manufacture) was used for repair work. 5 Boron Fibers Boron fibers are produced in a different way, in that they are formed by chemical vapor deposition of boron gas on a tungsten filament. Because the thermal expansion of cross-plied boron tapes is fairly close to that of aluminum alloys, these materials are being used to make composite repairs to aluminum alloy aircraft parts.
This comprises heating in an inert atmosphere—“white spot” grade nitrogen is suitable—at temperatures of approximately 400–1600°C (750–2900°F). 4. Some tar and further gases are evolved during carbonization. They include cyanogen (C2N2), which is another deadly poison and is treated in the same way as hydrogen cyanide. Also, at the higher end of the temperature scale, some grades of PAN produce a white crystalline deposit around the walls of the vessel, which is sodium cyanide (Ref. 6). 5. A final, optional stage is heating the boats and their charge of carbon fibers for approximately one hour to even higher temperatures, in furnaces equipped with carbon resistance heating elements, at approximately 2300°C (4200°F).
