A reinforced-plastics process that employs a series of continuous, resin-impregnated fibers applied to a mandrel in a predetermined geometrical relationship under controlled tension.
Sheets of pre-preg graphite or boron are layered and rolled onto a mandrel, then cured to make a shaft.
A molding process to form a composite which involves winding a resin-impregnated tow around a rotating mandrel (a pipe/rod or a vessel) and cured under heat.
A process which involves winding a resin-saturated strand of glass filament around a rotating mandrel.
A method of composite shaft manufacture in which a continuous strand of material (typically graphite fiber) is wrapped around a mandrel to create a shaft. Filament wound shafts are often a bit more consistent than sheet wrapped models.
Filament winding is an automated open molding process that uses a rotating mandrel as the mold. The male mold configuration produces a finished inner surface and a laminate surface on the outside diameter of the product. Filament winding results in a high degree of fiber loading, which provides high tensile strengths in the manufacture of hollow, generally cylindrical products such as chemical and fuel storage tanks, pipes, stacks, pressure vessels, and rocket motor cases. Flexwind McClean Anderson pattern development software used to generate motion files for running the filament winder.
An automated process for fabricating composites in which continuous roving, either preimpregnated with resin or drawn through a resin bath, are wound around a rotating mandrel.
A process to manufacture composite materials components such as rocket casings and cylinders. Fiber filaments are impregnated in a resin matrix and then wound in a predetermined pattern over a form of the desired component.
A process for fabricating composites in which continuous reinforcing fibers, either preimpregnated with resin or drawn through a resin bath, are wound around a rotating, removable mandrel.
A process for fabrication of a composite structure in which continuous reinforcements, either previously impregnated with a matrix material or impregnated during the winding, are placed over a rotating and removable form or mandrel in a previously prescribed way to meet certain stress conditions.
A process for fabricating a composite structure in which continuous reinforcements (filament, wire, yarn, tape, or other), either previously impregnated with a matrix material or impregnated during the winding, are placed over a rotating and removable form. See also - , , Link
resin impregnated roving or single strands of glass or other reinforcement wound in a predetermined pattern onto a suitable form or mandrel and then cured.
The manufacture of cylindrical casings by the winding of a continuous strand of glass made up of a gathering of many individual glass filaments each impregnated with an epoxy-anhydride product. These casings are used for rocket motors, reinforced epoxy pipe, pressure vessels, and in heavy electrical apparatus.
Roving or single strands of glass, metal, or other reinforcement are wound in a predetermined pattern onto a suitable mandrel. The pattern is so designed as to give maximum strength in the directions required. The strands can either be run from a creel through a resin bath before winding or pre-impregnated materials can be used. When the right number of layers have been applied, the wound mandrel is cured at room temperatures or in an oven.
Filament winding is a fabrication technique for creating composite material structures. The process involves winding filaments under tension over a male mould or mandrel. The most common filaments are carbon or glass fiber and are coated with synthetic resin as they are wound.
