Abstract [en]
The recent carbon fibers, with fiber architecture of the spread tow type, has shown radical improvements in critical material properties during use in the ongoing EU project CHATT (Cryogenic Hypersonic Advanced Tank Technologies), especially for the strain at onset of micro-cracking, transverse to the fiber direction. Liquid composite manufacture (wet filament winding, RTM) has been used in CHATT for these materials. The manufacturing challenge has been to achieve high quality and short cycle times. The processing issues have been solved using a combination of process simulation and manufacturing equipment modifications. The manufactured subscale demonstrator tubes have successfully been tested in CHATT towards the demanding loading conditions specified in the project, indicating that the TeXtreme® material performs similar to a load carrying liner material.
