<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient molding method of a composite material, for evenly applying large quantity of heat to the product to be molded or the composite material having a complicated cross sectional shape, easily controlling the pressure and the temperature for molding without arranging a heating means or a gas/air circulating means in the molding chamber, and considerably shortening curing time. <P>SOLUTION: The composite material formed of a fiber substrate and a matrix is put in a vacuum bag and then placed in the molding chamber. Saturated steam of a predetermined temperature needed for the composite material is supplied to the molding chamber, and the temperature and the pressure inside the molding chamber are controlled so that the inside of the molding chamber may be maintained at a predetermined temperature and a predetermined pressure needed for the composite material, in a curing step. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
