Summary of Test Method4.1 Specimens of prepreg are wei

10、ghed and then exposed toelevated temperature, equal to the nominal cure or consolida-tion temperature of the material, in an air circulating oven toremove the volatiles. The exposed samples are reweighed andthe percent change in weight expressed as volatiles content.5. Significance and Use5.1 This t

11、est method is used to obtain the volatiles contentof composite material prepreg. Knowledge of the volatilescontent is useful in developing optimum manufacturing pro-cesses.5.2 The volatiles content is determined after exposure to thenominal cure or consolidation temperature.6. Interferences6.1 Airfl

12、owThe amount of measured volatiles may beincreased or decreased by changing the velocity of airflow.Since airflow in most ovens is not linear in each part, avelometer should be used to measure airflow where samplesare placed. Samples should be placed only in positions ofknown airflow so that results

13、 may be repeatable. Use of baffleshas been found to even airflow between samples.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D30 onComposite Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D30.03 onConstituent/Precursor Properties.Current edition approved March 1, 2008.

16、etric shape and position-ing of the sample have an effect on the measured volatilescontent. Samples placed horizontally in a rack will not beexposed to the same amount of airflow as samples hungvertically. A ribbon wound in a 150 mm diameter hoop maygive slightly different results than the same ribb

17、on wound in a50 mm diameter hoop. A thinner sample will be exposed tomore airflow at its surface than a thicker sample.6.3 Time of ExposureFor any given temperature, sampleplacement, and airflow, the sample will lose volatiles at a setinitial rate, that decreases over time. After some time period,vo

18、latiles lost in the test will approach the true volatiles contentof the sample. If the time period is not sufficient to show a truevolatiles content of the material, the volatiles content isrepresentative of only the condition of the test.6.4 Time of Ambient ExposureVolatiles content varies dueto pr

19、olonged exposure of temperatures exceeding prepreg glasstransition temperature or exposure to humidity. This change isassociated with matrix crosslinking and change in tack.7. Apparatus7.1 Cutting BladeDie cutter that provides fixed specimenarea to within a tolerance of 0.5 % is recommended. Singlee

20、dge blade is acceptable.7.2 Cutting TemplateWhen a die cutter is not used, acutting template is required. The cutting template shall havegrooves within a tolerance of 0.4 mm parallel true positionfrom center line. This allows a 2 % area error.7.3 Analytical BalanceThe analytical balance shall becapa

21、ble of reading to within 60.1 mg.7.4 Circulating Air Oven, capable of tolerance within 63C.Removable baffles should be placed in the oven so that airflowis not directly aimed at the specimen.7.5 Rack, that allows air circulation and from which hooksmay be suspended.7.6 Timer, capable of reading 20 6

22、 1 min.7.7 Desiccator.8. Hazards8.1 Some materials contain flammable or toxic solvents aspart of the matrix. These materials could build up to dangerousconcentrations of vapor in the oven. NFPA 86 provides guide-lines on amount of flammable materials that may be safelyplaced in an oven.9. Test Speci

23、mens9.1 A minimum of three specimens shall be tested for eachsample.9.2 The specimen size shall be a minimum of 1600 mm2bymaterial thickness. Ribbon, braid, and fabric forms that do notdrip resin shall be suspended from the rack. Ribbon shall belooped in close proximity so that individual strands ar

24、e notclumped together. Other forms may be placed horizontally onthe rack.10. Calibration and Standardization10.1 All measuring equipment shall have certified calibra-tions that are current at the time of use of the equipment. Thecalibration documentation shall be available for inspection.11. Conditi

25、oning11.1 Store carbon fiber-epoxy prepreg at low temperaturesas recommended by the manufacturer (typicallyapproximately 18C). Allow sealed packages of material towarm as recommended by manufacturer or controlling speci-fication before seal is opened to ensure that the material doesnot absorb moistu

Record the mass of each specimen as Mi.12.2 Coat any surfaces of the rack or clip that may contactthe specimen with a suitable release agent to prevent loss ofspecimen weight due to resin ad

The specimens shou

28、ld beplaced so that the maximum surface area is exposed to thecirculating heat.12.4 Set the timer for 15 min.NOTE 1Other times may be used, but a timed study shall beperformed showing that at least 90 % of the maximum volatiles content isobtained at the recommended time.12.5 Remove the specimens fro
