In composites, heat transfer follows resin injection and this heat transfer is very sensitive to processing conditions. High-quality heat flux sensors permit detection of the resin flow front and ...

One key to becoming a good process engineer or effective operator is understanding heat transfer. The 10 most common heat-transfer malfunctions are: • Internal bypassing. • Vapor binding. • Flux ...

The graph at top shows TFX heat flux sensor data used to monitor resin flow and cure during an INNOTOOL 4.0 project trial employing the mold in Fig. 3 (RTM6 resin, 3.2-mm thickness). The project’s ...

The continuous casting process is a fundamental operation in modern steel production, whereby molten metal is solidified into semi-finished billets, blooms or slabs. Optimisation of the associated ...

Compression molding is a high-volume thermoset molding process that employs expensive but very durable metal dies. It is an appropriate choice when production quantities exceed 10,000 parts. As many ...
