Improving Integrally Heated Composite Tooling Through Cold Sprayed Copper Coatings and Heat Transfer Simulations
Integrally heated composite tooling (IHCT) is seen as a low cost alternative to autoclave manufacturing of polymer matrix composites (PMCs). IHCTs consist of a composite tool heated by surface heaters; temperature distribution is ensured by a thermally conductive metallic layer. The main original co...
