摘要
This paper examines the surface characteristics of some carbon fibre reinforced plastic components and investigates the interactions between curing conditions for the composite component, the tool and the related component surface characteristics. The results show that the processing conditions do have an important bearing on the surface character of the component and that the nature of the tooling material has also a significant influence. CFRP tooling is shown to be an effective and economic alternative to metal tooling though the resulting component surface finish is slightly poorer than for corresponding metal tools.
