The present invention refers to a process for manufacturing pre-cured parts of composite material with green-applied stiffeners, in which at least two parts manufactured in composite materials are structurally bonded, of which a first part called base part or support is cured and a second part called stiffener is in green condition and in which the bonding of both parts is carried out by means of a structural adhesive sheet in such a way that the second part is compacted against the first part, with adequate crosslinking of the resin of its composite material and so strongly adhered to the skin of the first part that the adequate resistance of the adhesive sheet is assured.
More specifically, the object of the invention is to develop the necessary theoretical concepts and their corresponding manufacturing processes to obtain a bonding system by co-gluing two or more structural parts manufactured from composite materials.
The bond is carried out by means of autoclave curing of a structural adhesive sheet interposed between two surfaces of parts made of composite material. The resin is cured in one of these parts and green in the other one. The curing of the resin of the part which is in a green condition is also produced in the same autoclave cycle.
One of the most productive industrial applications of the present invention is the manufacture of large size structural members where the quality of the base part is assured, that is, the part arriving already cured to the process.
The adhesive joints of structural components have a reduced application in composite materials due to the fact that their use and development degree is limited as corresponds to their recent appearance in the technical background.
In the case of co-gluing, the applicant's closest background refers to the bonding of spar stiffeners of the horizontal stabilizer torsion box for the Airbus A330-340 aircraft (currently in production), the bonding of the longitudinal stiffeners of the skin of the wing torsion box for the CASA 3000 aircraft (in prototype stage), the bonding of spars to the wing skin of the EFA-European Fighter Aircraft (in pre-production phase) and the bonding of the FB.5-1 test box of the LFS-Large Flying-Surfaces development program.
From the results of the previous experiments as well as from other studies and manufacturability tests, it is deduced that the application of the process of the present invention is both achievable and reliable for its use in parts with highly demanded resistant structures and with strict quality requirements.
This invention is applicable to the manufacture of structural members of composite material parts in which one or several of its components are in a cured condition (base components) and the other components are in a green condition (stiffener components), provided that the bonding between both of them is made. These parts may be any of those belonging to:
Aircraft structures and controls such as flying-surface contours, spars, ribs, fixtures.
The manufacturing processes involved are:
Laminating of composite material (manual or automatic).
Cutting of composite material.
Hot forming of composite material.
Handling and positioning of parts and tooling.
The used materials may be integrated by different resins and different types of fibre, such as:
Other heat-stable resins
The object of the invention is a manufacturing process for composite material parts in which at least one green part is adhered (stiffener component) with another cured part (base component) by means of a structural adhesive. This bonding is obtained by the moulding and pressure application with special tools designed for such purpose, so that it is possible to control and retain the resin and adhesive flow produced during the autoclave cycle.
The green part will have an L- or T-shaped cross section. The process for the latter will be described in detail below.
The cured part may be a wing skin or that of a stabiliser or any other component needing to be stiffened in order to comply with its structural function.
The co-stiffener with a T-shape is confined by devices (angle pieces) which are the basis of the system and which control and retain the resin flow. Afterwards, a vacuum bag is fitted as will be explained later on, and the assembly is introduced into an autoclave to submit it to a curing cycle under a predetermined pressure and temperature depending on the material and part requirements.
The process is applicable to the parts obtained by any lamination process (manual or automatic).
For a better understanding of the process of the present invention, the attached drawings will be resorted to, where:
FIG. 1 is a general perspective view of a base skin-stiffener assembly obtained with the process of the invention,
FIG. 2 shows angle pieces used in the present invention,
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a stopper used in the present invention,
FIG. 4 illustrates the formation of a semi-stringer according to the present invention, and
FIG. 5 shows the bonding of the semi-stringers by using the process of the invention.
The manufacturing process developed by the invention and applicable to composite materials is related to a set of different preliminary processes allowing to achieve co-gluing in an optimized way. The key point is the retention of resin flow of the composite material during the co-gluing process described below.
The foot 3 of the stringer 2 is of a constant thickness in each section and is adapted to the shape of the contour of the base part 1, ascending and descending the slopes of the latter as may be observed in FIG. 1. The thicknesses developed until now for such a foot vary between 2 and 8 mm.
The stringer 2 is confined between two angle pieces 4, 4′ of steel, aluminum, pneumatic cushion, etc., preferably Invar, like those shown in FIG. 2 which are adapted to the shape of the stringer 2. These angle pieces have a series of channels where elastomeric pipes tubes or pipes 5, 5′ are housed, retaining the resin flow of the composite material of the stringer 2. The location, shape and exact sizing of such pipes is carried out according to the aforementioned resin flow optimisation and that of the grip-torque over the stringer 2 during the curing process.
Once the stringers 2 have been fitted in the angle pieces 4,4′, the adhesive is applied over the feet 3 of the stringers. Then, the assembly is positioned over the base skin (part 1) and the relevant vacuum bag which envelops the entire assembly is made.
With respect to the tooling for the co-gluing process, a cradle over which part 1 has been cured will be used as well as a turning frame which will allow the stringers 2 to be correctly positioned over said part 1. The stringers are fastened to the frame by means of the angle pieces 4,4′ described above.
To retain the resin flow at the ends, stoppers 6 of steel, aluminium, carbon fibre, etc. are used as shown in FIG. 3.
Now, the different steps of the manufacturing process according to the invention will be described.
A—Lamination of the Part or Parts
This consists in the superposition of composite material layers in a pre-impregnated condition, so that the orientation of the fibre is adapted to the structural requirements of the part to be manufactured. For such a purpose, the necessary reinforcements will be placed between the different laminate layers, designated with number 7 in FIG. 4. The distribution of layers must be such that their lamination and forming is permitted without producing wrinkles or fibre distortion and also that the part, once cured, has no permanent deformations due to thermal stresses.
On one hand, the base skin (part 1) and on the other hand the assembly of basic stacks forming the stringers 2 are laminated.
The parts made with the present process may be flat or curved, with or without changes of thickness, both transverse and longitudinal. Said parts may be subjected to a posterior cutting according to the convenience of laminating several parts at the same time.
B—Forming of the Stringers and Preliminary Operations
The different laminates 7 forming the semi-stringers 2 are assembled over a bench and introduced in the bed plate of a thermo-forming machine. Control thermocouples are fitted and the tooling parts which may damage the machine membrane are coated with airweave (aerating fabric).
The hot forming cycle is obtained by applying heat and vacuum. In this way, formed laminates 7 are obtained forming semi-stringers (FIG. 4) over the thermo-forming tools 8; the stringer 2 is obtained by means of bonding the semi-stringers by couples (as shown in FIG. 5).
Due to the thermo-forming tool 8 geometry, the feet 3 of the stringers 2 are adapted to the coating shape of part 1, ascending and descending the slopes existing on it.
C—Assembly on the Turning Frame
The stringers 2 are removed from the forming tools 8 and then introduced in the angle pieces 4, 4′ previously fitted in the turning frame.
The angle pieces 4, 4′ are tightened and a cradle with the already cured base skin (part 1) on which the reinforcements have been fitted is placed below the 20 frame.
The stringers 2 are turned over part 1, for which the frame is provided with movement and mechanical and optical positioning means permitting to obtain the desired accuracy. Then, the frame is removed and the tightness or sealing is assured to prevent resin of the composite material from flowing outwardly from the stringers and formation of the vacuum bag is started.
The positioning tolerances of the parts between each other and of the latter with the tools are related to the thickness and geometrical characteristics thereof.
D—Autoclave Process Preparation
Once the green parts or stringers 2 and their tools 8 have been positioned over the cured base skin (part 1), the vacuum bag is prepared, for which three layers of different materials will be used. In the last layer, a series of perforations will be made to locate valves which will extract air from the bag, hence obtaining the required vacuum. The bag will remain sealed to the tool, preventing loses thanks to a strip of mastic fitted around the perimeter. To assure tightness, the bag will be tested once cold.
Re-usable bags of silicone, etc. may also be used.
E—Autoclave Curing
After preparing the vacuum bag, the assembly is loaded over the autoclave support tool. This is hermetically closed and the corresponding curing cycle is carried out rating the value of the following essential parameters, depending on the characteristics of the material and the part:
Pressure: 5.95-10.5 kg/cm2.
Temperature: up to 190° C. according to the material.
Rate of heating: 0.5-2° C./min.
Once the autoclave chamber reaches the environmental conditions of pressure and temperature, the already cured and perfectly consolidated material is removed. The parts initially in a pre-impregnation condition (stringers 2) are now perfectly adhered to the cured component (part 1) and in a condition to support the structural stresses for which they have been designed.
As already described in its different stages, in the process of the present invention, the key factor lies in retaining the resin flow of the composite material of the stiffener (stringer 2) during the curing process, for which the previously described gluing process is applied, in which the stringer 2 is confined between two steel, aluminium, pneumatic cushion angle pieces 4, 4′ etc., like those shown in FIG. 2, the latter having a series of elastomeric components (elastomeric pipes 5, 5′ ) which are those retaining the resin flow.
The process of the invention is applicable for different thickness (3.5-16 mm for the core and 2 to 8 mm for the stiffener foot, spar and/or stringer) and for different laminates 7. The dimensions are very variable, both in height and length. Until now, parts reaching a 17 m length with suitable tooling have been developed.
The basic features of the invention have been remarked above, although, as will be understood, it will possible to make amendments of certain details of the manufacturing process developed by the applicant. For this reason, it is intended that the scope of the invention is limited only by the contents of the attached claims.
