Abstract
Complete process characterization is required to enable high volume manufacture of composite components by resin transfer moulding (RTM). A review of processing literature indicates adequate understanding of the thermal cycle but limited understanding of the pressure cycle. Experimental results are presented to characterize both the thermal and pressure cycles during RTM, verifying published findings in instances and developing them in others. A phase of post-impregnation cavity pressure is identified which is considered to be caused by thermal expansion of liquid resin adjacent to the gate. Results are presented to demonstrate that this pressure phase can be more significant than impregnation pressure when considering mould design.
