Abstract

This study aimed to predict the optimum processing condition for thermoplastic tape laying. The material used for the experiment was unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (CF/PA6) prepreg tape. The effects of processing conditions such as output of infrared heater, feed speed of tape, temperature and pressure of compaction roller on the laying behavior of prepreg tape were investigated. The experimental results revealed that the surface temperature of CF/PA6 prepreg tape and singe lap tensile strength tends to increase with decreasing the feed speed of prepreg tapes.
