German aircraft experts will choose HexPly M79 carbon fiber prepreg for composite parts on their F2 aircraft.
Specifically, HexPly M79 carbon fiber prepregs were selected because they reportedly provide a more consistent, lighter, stronger aircraft by ensuring constant material quality and processing parameters and producing a more competitive overall cost Final product.
Ultra-light aircraft that have always relied heavily on composite materials to manufacture aircraft. When the company began to look for prepreg solutions, it sought a long-term composite material partner to create several specialized new product codes and then provided them for initial processing. Materials for testing and prototyping. The HexPly M79 autoclave solution was used for the first time in the new F2 prototype for low-temperature curing. As part of the material supply package, a team was also dispatched for on-site training and technical support to enable the production team to master the prepreg as soon as possible.
M79 prepreg can be cured for eight hours at a temperature as low as 70 ° C or for four hours at a temperature of 80 ° C, thereby reducing mold costs and increasing construction speed. When used in combination with exhaust grid technology, M79 UD carbon tape can also be laminated by reducing the thinning step, so that regardless of the thickness of the laminate, the void content is less than 1%. With consistent low porosity and improved mechanical properties, designers and engineers can further optimize high-load composite aerospace structures.
According to the statement, more composite aircraft parts are being transferred to prepreg technology. According to reports, the use of M79 can make the pavement cleaner and more accurate. Its low temperature oven curing is fast and energy-saving, and its manufacturing process consistently outputs high-quality laminates and components.
