We are currently evaluating the possibility of curing a phenolic-carbon and phenolic-aramid hybrid laminate in an autoclave versus the ovens that we typically run phenolic parts in.
I have heard of horror stories of the phenolic gasing causing vent lines and equipment to "clog up" over time needing replacement. I have also heard that there are certain techniques/equipment that can alleviate the issue. We don't seem have this issue with our oven cured phenolics.
Does anybody have any experience curing phenolic materials in an autoclave and can shed some light on the subject?
Thanks in advance!
