Solvay is looking forward to engaging with SAMPE visitors on its industrialization strategy: cost-efficient thermoset and thermoplastic materials developed for high rate, composite manufacturing.
Visitors will be able to see two examples of composite structures using Solvay's thermoplastic materials for aerospace, with a welded fuselage demonstrator from GKN Fokker and a structural fitting from Greene Tweed.
Solvay will also display press cured thermosets for aerospace structural components. Two papers will be presented on the manufacture of these parts at the event:
“Novel Prepreg System for Press Molding”: May 22nd, 3:20 - 3:40 pm, room 208A.
“Spring Frame Press Fabrication of Aerospace Production Components”: May 22nd, 2:30 - 2:55 pm, room 208B. This paper has won the 3rd Place in the Outstanding Technical Paper Awards for SAMPE 2019.
Industrialization concepts for fabrication processes to demonstrate rate and cost capabilities.
