Precise temperature control is vital when heat
treating large carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) components. Proper curing
temperatures allow the polymer resin to fully cure with the carbon fiber
reinforcement. Temperature variations can weaken the material properties of the
finished CFRP part. High-accuracy thermal systems are necessary to manufacture
oversized CFRP structures meeting engineering requirements. Maintaining tight
temperature tolerances throughout the entire heat treatment cycle is critical
for achieving the desired strength and performance in these advanced composite
materials.
