Parametric study on processing parameters and resulting part quality through thermoplastic tape placement process

Abstract: Thermoplastic tape placement with in situ consolidation is a unique process, in which prepreg tape is precisely positioned, laid-up and immediately consolidated on the tool surface in a single step. This study addresses some of the remaining issues that restrict the industrialisation of the thermoplastic tape placement. The consolidation quality of the laminates depends on several parameters underlying the consolidation mechanism, for example the tape placement setup, the processing parameters, and the materia… Show more

“…Various researchers [58,88,[90][91][92]94,95] identify the compaction force and temperature applied to the fiber material during deposition as relevant process parameters. They significantly affect the amount of air entrapped within the laminate during consolidation of individual plies.…”

“…The bonding process is a combination of the flattening of the asperities at the interface (intimate contact development [11][12][13]), and the diffusion of polymer chains across the interface (autohesion or healing [14][15][16]). Other physical processes occur simultaneously during the process such as changes in crystallinity [5,17,18], void content [9,19], residual stress [20,21] and degradation [22,23] -all of which are sensitive to the specific temperature history. Optimisation of the quality of the resulting composite is non-trivial due to the multi-faceted nature of the process [22,24,25].…”
