Effect of Pulling Speed on the Sizes of the Liquid, Gel and Solid Zone During Thermoset Pultrusion

摘要整理

The temperature and the degree of cure distributions inside a thermoset composite profile during the pultrusion process are calculated numerically using the finite difference method. The degrees of cure at the beginning of the gel and the solid zones i.e., OCGL and CLGs are determined using appropriate experimental techniques. These results enabled us to predict the location and the size of the liquid, gel and solid zones inside a pultrusion die. It is found that the pulling speed affects the size and the position of each zone considerably. The relationships between the sizes of these zones and the pull-force is discussed.
