Effect of gravity in autoclave cure
Effect of gravity in autoclave cure
(OP)
Hi All,
Will resin tend to flow toward the lowest point of the mold during an autoclave cure at 50 psi? or is the effect of gravity negligible.
Thanks in advance

RE: Effect of gravity in autoclave cure
Resin viscosity, fiber permeability, and fiber compaction supporting the vacuum bag, resist the effects of gravity on resin flow. Low resin viscosity and high resin content will magnify the effect of gravity.
