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 660-710oF (350-375oC)
- 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. < 200oF (93oC)
Autoclave Cycle:
- Apply vacuum pressure
- Heat part to 660-710oF (350-375oC)
- 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. < 200oF (93oC)
