The Process for AS-HT material

AS Innovative Composite Materials production process is similar to traditional organic composite process. And the same tools and machinery can be used.

1.AS-HT Pre-preg moulding
2.Lamination by Ply-match
3.Autoclave cure
4.De-moulding
5.High Temperature oven cure
6.Densification: 1 step 25% porosity 2 step 15% porosity 3 step 5% porosity
