Abstract
Methods of compression resin transfer infusion are presented. A dry preform with a thermoplastic veil is placed onto a lower mold die. An upper mold die is placed over the lower mold die to create an infusion and cure tool having a sealed cavity holding the dry preform, the sealed cavity defining a gap, the gap corresponding to a cavity volume equivalent to an amount of resin to infuse the dry preform. Resin is injected into the gap of the sealed cavity while the infusion and cure tool is maintained at an infusion temperature. The upper mold die is lowered to infuse the dry preform to form a resin-infused preform. The resin-infused preform is cured within the infusion and cure tool to form a cured composite part, wherein curing occurs at a curing temperature higher than the infusion temperature.
