Workshop on Closed Mold Manufacturing of High Performance Composite MissileStructures. Held on May 15-16, 1995

摘要

Closed mold manufacturing processes such as resin transfer molding or matchedmetal net-shape molding offer potential low-cost methods for making components for missiles. A workshop involving missile producers, material suppliers (resins, preforms, prepregs), and parts fabricators was planned, in part, to promote communication among the appropriate groups. The agenda was put together by LtCol Michael Obal and Dr. Janet M. Sater (Institute for Defense Analyses) to address technical issues and limitations associated with closed mold manufacturing of high performance polymer composites for missile applications. The workshop was hosted by IDA on May 15-16, 1995.
