WP2 - Materials and Processes
- Preliminary material/process survey, screening and selection
- Definition of mechanical test matrices
- Limited testing of multiple material/process combinations
- Material Selection
- Material allowable database for selected technologies
WP2 - Materials and Processes Down-selection process
1
Gathered from partners, Piaggio and IAI potential Material Systems
30-35 prepregs, dry fibers and resins
2
First Screening based on most crucial parameters
Tg
Viscosity
Suitability to automatic lay up technologies
18-20 prepregs, dry fibers and resins
3
Further screening based on
Cost
Low cure temperature
Short cure cycle
High toughness
Maturity and former experience
2-3 prepregs, dry fibers and resins
4
Selected material were purchased and suitability and material property tests were performed to decide on most suitable material systems for each technology
