An investigation of the moulding defects formed during compression moulding of randomly-oriented strand carbon/PEEK composites is presented. The cause of defect formation was identified as non-uniform shrinkage due to a high coefficient of thermal expansion at the onset of crystallization. Panels with void content ranging from 0% to 1.3% were moulded by releasing the moulding pressure at specific temperatures during the cooling process. Mechanical tests showed a reduction in specimen compressive strength from 15% to 25% for a void content of 0.63-1.3%. It was concluded that the high concentration of porosity near the surface of the panels was the likely cause of the strength reduction. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
