Objective
The RTM process (Resin Transfer Moulding) and the RIM or RRIM process (Reaction Injection Moulding or Reinforced) are more and more used for the manufacturing parts in a variety of size and complexity that must be produced in little or medium series. The advantages of these processes are, among others, due to the fact that there are closed moulds techniques. Composites moulds are widely used for the realisation of little or medium series of medium or large parts. But the main problem of composite moulds used with RTM and RIM processes is that moulds surfaces may be rapidly damaged by chemical aggression caused by the injected resin, by abrasion caused by the reinforced materials, or by demoulding problems, so that it would be difficult or impossible to obtain moulded composite parts which will offer perfect surface aspect. A solution consists in replacing the conventional gel-coat layer by a metallic sprayed skin which will improve the durability of the mould. But it is well known that this metallic sprayed layer is porous with polyester resins and other resins like DCPD resins with, as consequence, that demoulding operation is difficult or impossible. This is due to the fact that the metallic skin is not hard enough, and moreover is too porous. Different techniques exist and are available to seal metallic surface or to add a protective coating onto metallic or aluminium parts, but also onto composite parts. Although the techniques that will be used in i this project are not new, the combination of these together will open new markets to RTM and RIM; processes. The research will focus on the selection of the adequate sealer coating to be applied on the sprayed metallic layer and on trials with injection of resins into the treated moulds.
