Achievement of aerospace qualification for resin system by Syensqo and Teijin Carbon announced
In the ever-evolving world of aerospace manufacturing, several significant advancements have been made recently. Here's a snapshot of some of the latest news:
The PRISM EP2400 epoxy resin system, developed by Syensqo, has made a notable mark in the industry. Qualified by the FAA-sponsored NCAMP, this resin system is now recognised for its suitability in high-performance applications, such as commercial and defense aircraft.
The epoxy resin system, known for its toughness and damage tolerance, is ideal for both primary and secondary structures. Notably, the PRISM EP2400 is the first resin infusion material to be added to the NCAMP database.
In a Q&A session, Gianmarco Pisati, the technology sales manager at CNC machine tool specialist Jobs, discussed the intricacies of CNC machining honeycomb cores. High accuracy and a particular cutting strategy with specific tools are required for this process, as highlighted by Pisati.
Meanwhile, Woodward Inc has announced plans to build a precision manufacturing facility in Greer, South Carolina. This move is expected to bolster the local economy and contribute to the ongoing advancements in the aerospace sector.
Martin Burns, the aerospace specialist at Exactaform, delved into the topic of CFRP drilling and stack material solutions for the aerospace manufacturing sector during a recent discussion.
Orbex, a leading name in the space industry, has successfully completed its first full simulation of the Prime vehicle launch. This milestone brings Orbex one step closer to its goal of providing accessible and sustainable spaceflight.
Elsewhere, Boeing has launched its new Engineering Center within the Cici & Hyatt Brown Center for Aerospace Technology at Embry‐Riddle Aeronautical University's Research Park. This move underscores Boeing's commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration in the aerospace industry.
Neil Dykes, the technical sales manager at Exel Composites, showcases a passion for aviation that extends beyond composites. In addition to his professional role, Dykes is an aerospace hobbyist.
Finally, it's worth noting that the qualification of the PRISM EP2400 epoxy resin system was supported by a publicly available NCAMP Material Property Data Report. The qualification addresses the gap in public NCAMP allowables focused on prepreg systems. The company that qualified this system in combination with Teijin Carbon-Tenax IMS65 E23 24K non-crimp fabrics and woven unidirectional reinforcements under the FAA-sponsored NCAMP program is Hexcel Corporation.
The full documentation package for PRISM EP2400 is publicly available via NCAMP at Wichita State University. This resin system, a one-part, low reactive system developed for global shipping, boasts a long and stable pot life for large or complex structure infusions. Its low viscosity also enables robust and repeatable resin transfer processing.
These developments underscore the ongoing innovation and progress in the aerospace manufacturing sector, with each company contributing in its unique way to pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
