influence of processing conditions on key properties

Alteration of the key processing parameters influences the properties of the finished article. A project was carried out at an independent test laboratory to form a deep draw part, where the effects on peel strength and flexural modulus were identified.

These diagrams show the effect of increasing pressure, temperature and consolidation time on the properties of the material in this particular application.

It is important to note that optimum processing conditions for each individual application need to be established independently. The information below is offered as a guideline.

Preheating °C Recommmended 120
Hot Consolidation Pressure bar Minimum
Recommended
20
> 62
Hot Consolidation Temperature °C 120 – 150
Cold Consolidation Pressure bar Recommended 175
Cold Consolidation Temperature °C 0 – 15

The time for which the material is heated and held in the cold consolidation press is dependent on the number of layers in the panel or formed part.
