Investigation of manufacture variables on the mechanical properties of CFRP prepared by electrodeposition resin molding method

Abstract

This study used the electrodeposition resin molding method (EDRM), an easy and effective technique, to create composite materials. Because it’s a new technique, consideration of the impact of various production parameters on composite qualities was necessary. The effects of altering these EDRM voltage and electrical current conditions on the static and dynamic properties of composites were examined and tuned to fit the objective. Three distinct voltage values (100, 150, and 200 V) and five different current conditions (0.5, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50 A) were used for the manufacturing variables. In accordance with that, the effectiveness of heat treatment was also evaluated using two distinct temperature profiles. The bending strength of composites was somewhat influenced by the voltage and current conditions of the EDRM, but not in a particularly significant way. However, the bending strength of composites was significantly impacted by the heat curing temperature as well as the heat curing time.
