OOA
Out-of-autoclave manufacturing
processes for composite aerostructures
María Eugenia Rodríguez,
Director of Composites Unit
EURECAT Technology Centre
Autoclave technology is widely used by Tier 1 and Tier 2
suppliers to manufacture aerostructures for leading aircraft
manufacturers. This technology allows the production of
very high-quality lightweight parts because, if the procedure
is carried out properly, the autoclave pressure exerts on the
carbon fibre laminate a force capable of highly compressing the
trapped air and the volatile gases that would otherwise form
gaps in the cured resin and thus be problematic in a finished
composite part. However, a high specialization is often required
to achieve these results in addition to the high cost the process
involves, mainly due to the long cycle times and high energy
consumption.
Resin transfer moulding (RTM)
Liquid injection processes (LCM)
such as RTM (resin transfer moulding)
as a direct reduction of process costs
due to its low energy consumption, reduced processing times, lower exposure
to volatile organic compounds and the
production of composites with a high
fibre content. It also offers increased
production volumes and the possibility.
Feature Aeronautics
T
he most important segments of
the aeronautical industry and
research. In the manufacturing
field, one of the priorities is to find
smart technologies able to replace costly and time-consuming processes. For
this reason, composite fabricators are
in search of out-of-autoclave (OOA)
manufacturing processes that guarantee
a minimum void content in composite
aerostructures with less expensive,
more efficient equipment, yet achieving
autoclave quality for structural applications.
OOA processing offers a more sustainable manufacturing alternative, with
cost savings resulting from the energy
savings generated by the absence of an
autoclave, and reduced laminate preparation times.

attention as they yield high-quality
composites at lower cost and with
higher productivity.
RTM technology, in particular, has advantages over the use of prepregs, such
