COMPRESSION MOLDING OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL QUASI-ISOTROPIC FLAKES

摘要

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for compression molding of composite material quasi - isotropic flakes (400). According to some embodiments disclosed herein, a first layer (102) formed from a composite component material and a second layer (104) formed from a composite component material are consolidated together to form a quasi - isotropic panel (200). Composite material flakes (400) having quasi - isotropic properties ( "quasi - flakes " ) are obtained from the quasi - isotropic panel. A compression mold (500) is filled with the quasi -flakes (400), and heat is applied to the compression mold to form a part.
