碳纤维复合材料的使用在许多部门都在增长，但它们在非常高价值的行业中的使用仍然更强，例如航空航天，在这些行业中，应用的需求更容易证明所需的高能量投入和相应的成本。这种能源和成本投入通过产品整个寿命周期的收益得到回报，例如，飞机的维护间隔更长，燃料消耗更低。然而，与传统热固性材料相比，热塑性复合材料具有不同的能源和成本概况，在可回收性方面存在显着差异，但这种概况没有得到很好的量化或记录。本研究考虑了关键的工艺控制参数，并确定了最佳的加工窗口，沿着，这对制造零件的最终特性的影响。从结果中提取参数之间的相互作用和相应的灵敏度。
The use of carbon fibre composites is growing in many sectors but their use remains stronger in very high value industries such as aerospace where the demands of the application more easily justify the high energy input needed and the corresponding costs incurred. This energy and cost input is returned through gains over the whole life of the product, with for example, longer maintenance intervals for an aircraft and lower fuel burn. Thermoplastic composites however have a different energy and cost profile compared to traditional thermosets with notable differences in recyclability, but this profile is not well quantified or documented. This study considers the key process control parameters and identifies an optimal window for processing, along with the effect this has on the final characteristics of the manufactured parts. Interactions between parameters and corresponding sensitivities are extracted from the results.
