AUTOCLAVE MOLDING METHOD AND AUTOCLAVE MOLDING APPARATUS

摘要

The composite material formed of a fiber substrate and a matrix is placed in a vacuum bag and then in the molding chamber. Saturated steam of a predetermined temperature needed for the composite material is supplied to the molding chamber, and the temperature and the pressure inside the molding chamber are controlled so that the inside of the molding chamber may be maintained at a predetermined temperature and a predetermined pressure needed for the composite material in order to carry out a curing step.
