Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, there are few reports on the manufacture of tubular composite parts using the RFI process
Although the RFI process integrates the advantages of prepreg molding process and liquid molding, it still has its limitations. For example, the resin film needs to be laid on the bottom of the mold first, close to the profile, and the autoclave equipment must be used for molding. When pressing, the resin flows from the inside to the outside surface to impregnate the fibers, so it is mostly used to make flat composite parts
Moreover, if the conventional RFI process is used to form tubular composite parts, it still has to be limited to the disadvantages of male mold stacking operation, and thus cannot get rid of the difficulty of demoulding the tubular male mold tooling

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of manufacture engineering, relates to a manufacture technology method of a high-performance composite material pipe mold element, and particularly relates to a method for forming a composite material pipe mold element by pressurizing air bags with assistance of resin film transfer. According to the invention, a dry state fiber fabric and a thermoset resin adhesive film act as a base of a material, so that the method has the multiple advantages of reducing the manufacture cost obviously, improving the production efficiency effectively, expanding the application range of the manufacture technology extremely and the like. Compared with the traditional prepreg-autoclave technology, the fiber / adhesive film pre-dipping process is saved, so that on one hand, the using of a pre-dipping machine is prevented, and the cost of production equipment is reduced obviously, and on the other hand, the reduction of manufacture links improves the production efficiency effectively; additionally, most importantly, as for manufacture of pipe mold elements with the dry state fiber structure incapable of being treated by the pre-dipping mode, such as fiber 2.5D / 3D braided structure, the technology provided by the invention can also be used, and the technology application range is expanded extremely.
