Several heating devices such as heat blankets, hot air generators, heating lamps, ovens and autoclaves are available for repairs.c. The choice of heating devices for

25、 the curing of a repair depends on the equipment available, the geometry of the component, the restrictions of the repair environment, and the required cure accuracy.d. Composite repairs requiring elevated temperature curing need to be controlled, in accordance with the repair schedule. Refer to 8.1

26、 and 8.2 for requirements on recording of cure data.e. Throughout this document rounding up or down has been made when converting units of measurement.

28、from 11.8 in4. CURING CYCLE:4.1 Definition:Curing of thermosetting resins is by chemical reaction. For some resin systems the curing may take place at 15 to 20 C (60 to 70 F) over a time span of between 8 h to 7 days depending on the resin. The curing process for these room temperature curing system

29、s can be accelerated by the application of heat, typically 40 to 80 C (100 to 180 F). This reduces the curing time which has obvious commercial advantages and improves mechanical and chemical properties. The actual temperature used will be governed by the specific resin chosen. Curing for these syst

30、ems should not be attempted below 15 C (60 F) because of the risk of undercure. It should be noted that once mixed, resins will continue to cure even below 15 C.Other resin systems will not cure satisfactorily at room temperature but require elevated temperature, typically 93 C (200 F), 120 C (250 F

31、), or 180 C (350 F) to achieve full cure.During the curing process, compaction is necessary, in order to reduce the porosity level and facilitate vertical bleeding when required. Refer to ARP5143.The major process parameters which define a repair cure cycle are:a. Temperatureb. Pressurec. TimeThese

32、process parameters, particularly time/temperature cycles, are defined during resin qualification. They shall be applied within stated tolerances.Depending on the resin and/or the repair instructions, stepped curing may be necessary. In this procedure curing takes place in a series of steps where the

33、 temperature is held at a defined value for a specified time and then raised to a higher value for a further period of time, until the final cure temperature is achieved.Copyright SAE International Provided by IHS under license with SAENot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without li

34、cense from IHS-,-,-SAE ARP5144 - 7 -4.2 Curing Profile:Typical curing cycles involve three major phases:a. Heating Phase: Heat-up at the defined rate to the required curing temperature.b. Curing Phase (Hold Phase): Stabilized temperature period for minimum time to achieve the required cure.c. Coolin

35、g Phase: Cool down at the defined rate.Each phase of the curing cycle must stay within defined temperature and time tolerances to obtain uniform curing.The resin cure cycle is stated in the repair instructions.4.2.1 Heating Phase: The heat-up rate is generally defined in degrees/minute with maximum

36、and minimum values. A fast heat-up rate is desirable to reduce processing times which from a repair standpoint is a benefit if rapid turn around times are needed. But it shall be slow enough so that gross temperature differences do not cause uneven curing and related part warpage.Typical heat-up rat

37、es for epoxy curing are 2.5 to 4.5 C (4.5 to 8 F) per minute for small parts and 1.5 to 2.5 C (2.5 to 4.5 F) per minute for large parts.The resin behavior will determine the maximum heat-up rate, to take into consideration the following points:a. Exothermic Reaction: An exothermic chemical reaction

38、is one in which heat is generated during the reaction. The heat can be considerable and must be contained within acceptable limits.b. Resin Viscosity Changes: In the early stages of cure the resin reaches a low viscosity. During this period it can wet the surfaces to be bonded, will fully wet out th

39、e fibers, and flow into crevices or surface variations. As the curing process takes place, cross linking of the resin will occur. At the gel point, the resin changes from a fluid to a solid state. On completion of curing, the material is a hard solid.c. Volatile Extraction: This is an important phas

40、e in the cure cycle. It is essential to vent/extract volatiles, which are a by-product of the chemical reaction, or an unacceptable porous structure could result.d. Gelation: This is an important stage in the cure of the resin. It is the point in a resin cure when the viscosity has increased to a po

41、int such that it barely moves when probed with a sharp instrument. At this stage, the cure is well advanced.Copyright SAE International Provided by IHS under license with SAENot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-SAE ARP5144 - 8 -4.2.1 (Continued):The mini

42、mum heating rate is defined to avoid excess bleeding before gelation.To avoid over heating the repair, close monitoring is necessary. Consideration should be given to reducing the heat-up rate as the temperature of the part nears the cure (hold) temperature. This will assist in preventing overshoot

43、of the cure temperature.Equipment capability and heat sinks are factors that can affect the heat-up rate, resulting in thermal gradients across the repair. To determine whether thermal gradients may occur, a heat survey should be conducted prior to curing the repair. Refer to 5.4.4.2.2 Curing Phase

44、(Hold Phase): Measurement of cure time (cure phase or hold phase) commences when all repair thermocouples are within the required temperature band. During the cure phase all thermocouples shall remain within this temperature band. It is important to adjust the heat input to bring the temperature wit

45、hin this band as quickly as is practical. Consideration may have to be given to scrapping the repair if this cannot be achieved within a reasonable and practicable time. An alternative repair route may then have to be considered.The cure time (hold time) is stated in the repair instruction.4.2.3 Coo

46、ling Phase: Cooling may start when the stabilized period (curing or hold phase) is complete. The cooling rate is stated in the repair instruction.High cooling rates should be avoided because they increase the thermal gradient and may induce transverse micro-cracking in the repair.Typical maximum coo

47、ling rates are 4.5 C (8 F) per minute for small parts and 2 C (4 F) per minute for large parts.4.3 Examples of Curing Cycles:4.3.1 Single Step Curing Cycle (Figure 1): In this example heat and vacuum are applied simultaneously.Copyright SAE International Provided by IHS under license with SAENot for
