AZL Material Data Sheet Study Standardization for RTM Data Sheets
The document summarizes the outcomes of the first RTM workshop held on 7 November 2014 in Aachen. It discusses the motivation for standardizing material data sheets, the challenges of composite materials, and the required information for the supply chain, such as viscosity, gel time, curing cycles and mechanical properties.
It also outlines the needs of the future composite market, the role of AZL partners, and proposes a set of standard laminate definitions and product groups to improve comparability, reduce costs and accelerate composite development across industries.
Covers: Motivation · Material Data Sheet Study Content · Requirements for Simulation Purposes · Machinery and Process Requirements for RTM · Conclusion and Discussion · Standard Product Groups
