Field
This invention relates to a method of forming fibre reinforced thermoplastic composite tubes by placement of fibres and resin matrix onto a mandrel and further processing the composite materials insitu .
Background of the Invention
It is well known to manufacture reinforced composite shafts or tubes by winding resin fibres impregnated with a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin, sometimes in the form of a tape, around a mandrel and then curing the fibre/resin composite on the mandrel. It is also known from WO-A-9218559 to impregnate glass fibres with a thermoplastic material and then wind the impregnated glass fibres around a mandrel and heat the windings to fuse the thermoplastic polymer resin.
Elongated fibre and thermosetting resin composites are also formed by a pultrusion process as is illustrated in US-A-4943338, and US 4673,541 in which impregnated fibres are drawn through an elongated die and the resin is substantially set within y the die. A similar process is described in GB-A-1275379- which describes reinforcing a thermoplastic pipe by applying a layer of fibrous material to the cold pipe and then pulling the pipe through a tapered sleeve cold forming the pipe and layer to a smaller diameter.

Description of the Drawings

Fig.1 is a schematic view of the forming of the wound composite pre-form onto the mandrel, in accordance with the invention, Fig. 2 shows a fisrt stage in heating and compaction of the pre-form on the mandrel and Fig.3 shows a second stage in the heating and compaction process, and
Fig 4 shows a section of a composite tube formed in accordance with the present invention.
Detailed Description of the Invention
With reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings, there is illustrated a winding process for manufacturing a composite tube or pipe P having a thermoplastic matrix (Fig.4). Continuous reinforcing fibres 10 in this example S glass or Carbon fibre and continuous length thermoplastic fibres or filaments 11 , in this example PEEK , which form the resin matrix 12 of the pipe body, are provided on spools S1 and S2 respectively which are typically housed in a creel. During the winding process the reinforcement fibre 10 and the matrix filaments 11 will be mounted on tensioners T1 and T2 respectively at the rear of a winding machine W. The two fibrous materials 10 & 11 will pass over a series of pins and rollers, schematically shown as rollers R1 and R2 to allow the tows or bundles of fibres 10 and filaments 11 to be spread. The reinforcement fibres 10 and matrix filaments 11 will be kept separate over their own sets of rollers and pins R during the spreading process.
The PEEK filaments are typically < 0.7μ in diameter and the reinforcement carbon fibres may be 5-7 μ in diameter and the Glass fibre about 12 μ in diameter.
The spread fibres 10 and filaments 11 will be laid on joint pulleys and pins, shown schematically as rollers 15 , with the reinforcement fibre 10 spread on top of the spread matrix filaments 11 . This is to promote substantially total co-mingling of the fibres and filaments to ensure that the matrix filaments are evenly distributed amongst the reinforcement fibres so during the next stage of the process the matrix
resin has a minimal distance to flow so as to promote maximum "wet-out" of the reinforcement fibres, as the materials are consolidated and heated to form a composite tube P. The ratio of reinforcment fibre 10 and thermoplastic filaments 11 co-wound will be approximately 50% each (by volume) and preferably 40% - 60% respectively. The mingled fibres and filaments are then passed through a placement head H for placement onto a rotatable mandrel M in order to helically wind the fibres and filaments onto the mandrel and form a perform 20 comprising oppositely biased layers 16 & 17.
Upon completion of the winding process represented in Figure 1, the co-wound semi-finished fibre/thermoplastic pre-form 20 in situ on the madrel M and has a predetermined external diameter of D1. The pre-form and mandrel are presented to a heated die 30 as shown in Fig. 2 and then pushed through the die 30 as shown in Figs. 3. The die 30 has plurality of temperature zones 31,32,33. The perform 20 is processed through these increasing temperature stages. The first zone 31 has a larger diameter cylindrical portion 36 and is a pre-heat zone (typically at approximately 2500C) t. The second zone 32 is a process heat zone 32 which is at a temperature above the melting point of the thermoplastic, ( for PEEK the hearing zone 32 is typically at approximately 3900C). At the process heat zone 32, the internal bore 34 of the die 30 gradually tapers from the first cylindrical portion 36 to a second cylindrical portion 35 having a minimum diameter D2 . As the pre-form 20 is pushed through this lower diameter portion, the now molten thermoplastic fibre is squeezed within the pre-form as it is pushed through the die
and caused to flow and consolidate and form the matrix, removing any air pockets that may have formed during the co-winding process and producing a substantially non-porous composite material.. The value of D2 is such that the finished part has a Fibre Volume Fraction of between approximately 55% and approximately 65%.
As the now formed tube P gradually exits the process heat zone 32 (where the thermoplastic is above its melting point), it enters a cool down zone 33 where the thermoplastic matrix is brought below its melting point and solidifies. The composite tube P is then removed from the mandrel. The speed with which the mandrel passes through the cooling zone and the cooling zone temperature may be utilized to control the cool down of the thermoplastic matrix in order to obtain optimized properties such as cross-linking and crystallinity, of the composite material Typically the speed of the mandrel through the die will be about 1 metre/minute.
The continuous pipe P as shown in Fig.4 may for example comprise a fuel carrying pipe for an aircraft and may typically have a length between 1.0-3.0 metres and a diameter of between 8-13 mm. The pipe should have a low porosity and good chemical resistance, and a controlled electrical resistivity. The helically wound fibre reinforcement 10 is held in a matrix 12 of PEEK with a fibre content of about 55% -70% by volume .
