Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods for fabricating perforated composites and composite laminates, that are capable of being contoured and able to withstand high temperatures to be used for sound suppression 5 applications. Also disclosed are flexible and rigid pin mat apparatuses that may be ' utilized in fabricating perforated composites.
- fiber reinforced polymer composite 0 material is generally utilized to describe a composite material that comprises a cured polymeric resin matrix that incorporates reinforcing fibers.
- the reinforcing fibers are generally incorporated in the form of a woven fiber mat.
- Perforated fiber reinforced polymer composites are 5 widely utilized as acoustic skins and sound suppression treatments.
- perforated fiber reinforced polymer composites are used in the sound suppression systems of aircraft engine nacelles.
- High temperature polymer composite materials are generally necessary for the inner 0 cowl bondment of a jet engine fan reverser, which is subjected to high temperatures during combustion.
- the acoustic skins and sound suppression treatments require shaping or contouring the high temperature polymer composite material to fit the shape of the engine nacelle.
- 5 Graphite fiber/bismaleimide preimpregnated fabric is a commercially available fiber reinforced polymer composite material that is able to withstand the high temperature environment of aircraft engine nacelles.
- high temperature fiber reinforced polymer composite material is used to describe fiber reinforced composite materials that are able to withstand high temperatures, i.e. above approximately 176.6 ⁇ C (350 ⁇ F) , without suffering a degradation in performance characteristics.
- the methods of the present invention may also be utilized in the formation of perforated fiber reinforced polymer composite materials and laminates that are not required to withstand high temperatures.
- perforated is utilized to describe a material that has a plurality of holes.
- a three step process is utilized to fabricate a perforated and contoured fiber reinforced polymer composite material or laminate having a high temperature capability.
- resin rheology is utilized to precure or "stage” a flat laminate (or composite) using heat and pressure.
- the precured, or staged, laminate is cured to a viscoelastic state, without inducing a complete cure, wherein the staged laminate may be handled and formed but still not experience excessive resin flow upon final cure.
- the staged laminate is subjected to an automated drilling process to create a perforated staged laminate with a high hole density.
- the perforated staged laminate is contoured, if desired, and subjected to final curing while the perforations are kept open and free of blockage from any excess resin flow.
- a perforated and contoured high temperature fiber reinforced polymer composite material, or laminate may be fabricated by the following steps. First, a preimpregnated fiber reinforced polymer composite material, capable upon final cure of withstanding high temperatures, is pressed over a pin mat to form a perforated preimpregnated fiber reinforced polymer composite material.
- the mat and the pins (projections) are sufficiently rigid to withstand the pressures utilized to force the pins through the preimpregnated composite without deforming.
- the pins may fabricated so that they end in a point to facilitate the pressing of the pins through the composite material. Further details relating to the mat are set forth below.
- the mat/material structure is subsequently staged to a state of partial cure using heat and pressure.
- the mat and material are then separated thereby leaving a partially cured perforated polymer composite material.
- the staging of the structure is performed to a state wherein upon separation the material may be formed when heated but does not exhibit substantial flow of the resin during the subsequent completion of the cure. This state is similar, in feel, to a swatch of leather.
- the separated perforated polymer composite material is formed, using a contoured mold, and the cure completed, under heat and pressure, on the contoured mold.
- the result is a perforated and contoured high temperature fiber reinforced polymer composite material.
- a high temperature fiber reinforced polymer composite material may be fabricated by the following series of steps.
- resin rheology is utilized to precure or "stage” a flat laminate (composite) using heat and pressure.
- the precured, or staged, laminate is cured to a viscoelastic state, without inducing a complete cure, wherein the staged laminate may be handled and formed but still not experience excessive resin flow upon final cure.
- the staged laminate is subjected to an automated drilling process to create a perforated staged laminate with a high hole density. Alternatively, a die punching process may be utilized to create the perforated stage laminate.
- the first, "male”, sheet includes an array of pin-like projections, also referred to as pins
- the second, "female” sheet includes an array of orifices or holes corresponding to the pin-like projections of the male sheet such that the male and female sheets may be joined.
- the pin-like projections and holes are located in a manner such that they correspond to the perforations in the perforated staged laminate so that the laminate may be sandwiched between the mats.
- the outside dimensions of the mats will generally roughly correspond to, or exceed, the outside dimensions of the laminate.
- the perforated laminate is sandwiched between the male and female sheets and the resulting structure is contoured into the desired shape. Using heat and pressure, the perforated laminate is cured to a final state in this sandwiched configuration. The sheets are then removed to produce a perforated and contoured high temperature fiber reinforced polymer composite material.
- Each of the methods of the present invention is especially well suited for use in fabricating perforated and contoured fiber reinforced polymer composite materials from graphite/bismaleimide preimpregnated fabric.
- This fabric is commercially available from a variety of sources including BASF-Narmco, Hexcel, and US Polymeric.

- Array Type plain square (equal number of rows and columns) .
- the semi-cured composite material or laminate After drilling the semi-cured composite material or laminate is placed in a tool and if a contour is desired in the final product, the semi-cured composite material or laminate is formed using pressure and heat if required. Methods of forming and contouring are known to those of ordinary skill in the art and include vacuum assisted or pressure forming. The composite material or laminate is final cured to the desired configuration using pressure and heat to produce the composite part. As set forth above, if the proper semi-cured state is achieved there will be no significant resin flow during final cure and therefore the perforations drilled into the composite material or laminate will remain clear.
- the flexible pin mat apparatus of the present invention is utilized during contouring and final curing of the composite material or laminate.
- a fiber reinforced polymer composite material is produced as follows.
- the starting material generally a preimpregnated fabric such as graphite fiber/bismaleimide preimpregnated fabric, is perforated.
- a preimpregnated fabric such as graphite fiber/bismaleimide preimpregnated fabric
- One or more plies of the starting material may be laminated and processed in manners known in the art. Additionally, surfacing plies such as adhesives, acoustic screens and core isolators may be readily integrated into the laminate and processed. Alternatively, individual plies may be perforated and then laminated in a subsequent operation.
- the starting material or laminate may be perforated in a variety of ways that are within the skill of one having ordinary skill in the art.
- the material or laminate is perforated by feeding the fiber-reinforced composite material, with a separator on both sides, through two sets of feeder rolls and a punch.
- One feeder roll is located upstream of the punch and the other is located downstream on the exit side of the punch.
- the rolls serve to feed the material automatically through the punch that can be made of either single or multiple rows of pin punches which have a matching die set.
- the starting material or laminate may be semi-cured and then perforated by drilling with a multiaxis horizontal boring machine with automatic tool changer in the manners described in the preceding paragraphs. For good acoustical performance the perforations may be configured as set forth above.
- the flexible pin mat utilized has an array of pins having a center to center distance equal to the center to center hole distance in the perforated composite material or laminate to allow the composite material of laminate to slide onto the male sheet.
- the array type on the male sheet should be similar to the array type of the perforations.
- the array on the male sheet could contain additional columns and/or rows and therefore be larger.
- FIG. 3 depicts this configuration with composite material or laminate 50, sandwiched between male sheet 10 and female sheet 30.
- the male sheet is placed on a flat tool with the pins facing upward.
- the punched or drilled composite material or laminate is then placed by hand over the pin array and pressed to the bottom of the male sheet.
- the female sheet is placed over the composite material and pressed downward to sandwich the composite material or laminate between the sheets of the flexible pin apparatus.
- the entire sandwich assembly may then be placed in a tool and formed to contour using pressure and heat if required.
- the composite material or laminate is final cured under pressure.
- the male and female sheets are removed leaving the perforated and contoured fiber reinforced polymer composite material or laminate.
- the pins of the flexible pin mat apparatus prevent residual resin, or fiber, from blocking the perforations during final cure. Additionally, use of the flexible pin mat apparatus allows consolidation pressures as high as 85 pounds per square inch to be utilized during final cure. Pressures in this range form acoustic laminates that are well consolidated and free of voids, even when the composite material or laminate is contoured.
- both the perforating (punching) and drilling processes are very controllable and can readily be altered without the long tooling changes and lead times required by existing methods of fabricating perforated fiber reinforced polymer composite materials or laminates.
- the drilling or punching process may remove a portion of the fiber reinforcement
- the method of the present invention yields composite materials or laminates with superior mechanical performance to other perforation methods. While not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is believed this improvement is attributable, in part, to drilling the composite material or laminate in a semi-cured viscoelastic state, rather than the final cured state, thus causing reduced microstructural damage to the laminates.
- a starting material or laminate such as the ones described in the preceding paragraphs, is perforated utilizing the rigid pin mat apparatus of the present invention.
- a restraining tool such as those known to the art, is utilized to hold the starting material.
- the starting material or laminate is stacked on top of the rubber pressure pad that lines the bottom of the restraining tool.
- the individual plies may be stacked in the restraining tool.
- the male sheet of the rigid pin mat apparatus is then placed on top of the plies of starting material or laminate with the rigid pins projecting towards the material.
- a rigid lid generally fabricated from metal, that fits inside the restraining tool is then placed on the top of the rigid pin mat, on the side opposite the pin side, and the entire assembly is loaded into a press. Pressure is then applied to the lid and assembly forcing the rigid pins through the starting material or laminate.
- the male sheet of the rigid pin mat apparatus with the material that now surrounds the pins is removed from the assembly and the female sheet of apparatus is placed over the material to sandwich the material between the male and female sheets.
- This sandwich assembly is then heated under specific heat and pressure conditions to semi-cure the starting material. If the starting material has not already been completely laminated the heat and pressure will also serve to laminate the plies of the starting materials. As set forth above, the resulting semi-cured material is still formable when heated but does not exhibit substantial flow of the resin during subsequent completion of the cure. At this point the viscoelastic properties of the semi-cured material or laminate are similar to leather.
- the resulting semi-cured perforated composite material is separated from the male and female sheets of the rigid pin apparatus and formed in manners known to the art, using heat if required. Subsequently, the composite material is cured, on a contoured tool if desired, to yield a perforated fiber reinforced polymer composite material.
- This method is particularly well suited for use with starting materials, or laminates, requiring cure temperatures that would degrade the flexible pin mat apparatus of the present invention. Additionally, since the composite material is removed from the rigid pin mat in the semi-cured state, the rigid pin mat may be fabricated from polymers that would be degraded by the temperature/pressure conditions necessary to final cure the starting material.
- Figure 4 depicts one such high temperature perforated fiber reinforced polymer composite material fabricated according to the present invention.
