Hi, I have problems on how to cure the wet winding tank.Usually, I use oven and make the tank rotated when curing. Now, I’m considering if I use autoclave with 10 bar pressure, is it possible to get pressure tank with better strength? Any suggestion on how to cure on filament winding process.
Thank for your suggestion~
The use of external pressure of a vacuum bagged filament wound lay up will actually weaken the strenght of the tank, pressure wise. That’s because in doing so, you create many wrinkles into the laminate. A wrinke in a tensioned laminate is equal to a cut fiber.
Just stick with the oven, and play with the roving tension during winding to get a better compaction.
