Abstract
A kind of rapid heating method which takes advantage of carbon fiber conductivity to shorten the cycle time of VARIM was designed in present paper. The processing cycle time, curing degree, glass transition temperature and mechanical properties of the laminates fabricated by carbon fiber internal resistive heating aided VARIM (R-VARIM) were studied. The results revealed that the cyle time of R-VARIM with con-water cooling process is only 450s, it is about 52% lower than that of previous study. Lower cooling rate before glass transition temperature is useful to complete cure of resin and improve the properties of the composites.
