| 20120135219 | METHOD OF PRODUCING ADVANCED COMPOSITE COMPONENTS - In one aspect, a method for producing a composite component including applying a resin over a surface, the resin solidifying to form a resin layer, providing reinforcement means along an x direction generally parallel to the resin layer, providing reinforcement means along a y direction at an angle to the x direction and generally parallel to the resin layer, and providing reinforcement means in a z direction generally perpendicular to the x and y directions in a subsequent production step. In another aspect, a method for producing a composite component including applying liquefied resin on a mould surface of a mould, the resin solidifying to form a resin layer thereon; locating a composite lay-up over the resin layer; locating the mould between first and second pressure chambers, each pressure chamber having an elastically deformable chamber wall, the chamber walls being located in opposing relation with the mould located therebetween; further applying liquefied resin on an opposing surface facing the mould, the resin on the opposing surface solidifying to form an opposing resin layer, such that the composite lay-up is locatable between said resin layers; and circulating a fluid at an elevated pressure and temperature through each pressure chamber such that the resin layers are liquefied and the composite lay-up is compressed, impregnated with resin and cured. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20110204541 | COMPOSITE COMPONENT PRODUCTION USING FLUID DENSITY AND PRESSURE - A production system for producing a composite component including, a mold assembly including a relatively rigid mold section, an elastically deformable mold section, fluid pressure means for applying a fluid pressure due to a density and/or pressure of a fluid on said elastically deformable mold section, and a resin supply means for supplying resin to a mold chamber defined between the mold sections when brought together. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20100051182 | COMPOSITE TUBE PRODUCTION - An apparatus for producing tubes formed from fibre reinforced composite material, the apparatus including: an elongate hollow mandrel ( | 03-04-2010 |
| 20090294053 | PRODUCTION, FORMING, BONDING, JOINING AND REPAIR SYSTEMS FOR COMPOSITE AND METAL COMPONENTS - Method and apparatus for the production, forming bonding, joining and repair systems composite and metal components utilising at least one pressure chamber having a displaceable abutment face, wherein fluid is circulated at an elevated temperature and pressure through the pressure chamber. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20080241302 | Reticulation System for Composite Component Production - A fluid reticulation system for a composite component production assembly, the production assembly including at least one pressure chamber ( | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080211145 | Composite Component Production Using Fluid Density and Pressure - A production system for producing a composite component including, a mould assembly ( | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080203622 | COMPOSITE AND METAL COMPONENT PRODUCTION, FORMING AND BONDING SYSTEM - A system for producing composite or bonded metal components including: first and second pressure chambers, each pressure chamber having an elastically deformable chamber wall; means for circulating fluid at an elevated temperature and pressure through each said pressure chamber; and at least one mould assembly including at least one separate mould section providing a mould cavity within which a composite or bonded metal lay-up can be located; wherein when the system is in use, the pressure chambers are held together with the elastically deformable chamber walls located in opposing relation, the at least one mould assembly containing a said lay- up being accommodated between the chamber walls while fluid at elevated temperature and pressure is circulated through each pressure chamber such that the lay-up can be compressed and cured or formed. | 08-28-2008 |
