Autoclave curing has historically been utilised in the production of composite aerospace and aircraft components to achieve the necessary fibre content (resin-to-fiber ratio) and the absence of resin voids to make light weight and strong components.

Autoclave curing has historically been utilised in the production of composite aerospace and aircraft components to achieve the necessary fibre content (resin-to-fiber ratio) and the absence of resin voids to make light weight and strong components. This is accomplished by vacuum-sealing the component in an autoclave before pressurising it during the hot cure cycle. To reduce resin voids and obtain the desired resin/fiber ratio, the part is subjected to high pressure within a pressurised autoclave. Visit website to learn more on autoclave composites. Prepregs are composite materials made by pre-impregnating a reinforcement fibre with a thermoplastic or thermoset resin matrix in a specific ratio. Due of the tremendous temperatures and pressures used to cure them, pregnancies have special characteristics. Browse website to know more on prepreg composites.
