Process Information
  • The following are general recommendations for successful processing. Other consolidation cycles are possible. Temperatures listed are for in-part thermocouple readings. Adjustments may be required to achieve optimum results in your specific manufacturing environment.

    Press Cycle :

  • Heat part to 600-650oF (315-343oC)
  • Increase pressure to 250 psi (17 bar)
  • Hold for 30 min
  • Cool to room temp. at 10oF (5oC)/min.
  • Do not remove pressure until temp. < 190oF (87oC)
  • Autoclave Cycle:

  • Apply vacuum pressure
  • Heat part to 600-650oF (315-343oC)
  • Increase pressure to 150 - 250 psi (10 - 17 bar)
  • Hold for 30 min.
  • Cool to room temp. at 10oF (5oC)/min.
  • Do not remove pressure until temp. < 190oF (87oC)
