Filament winding

• Straight or tapered along the length

Page 9: Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructureweb/@eis… ·  · 2016-05-02Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructure ... or towpreg – pre‐impregnated

Filament winding

• Any convex cross section, ie round, elliptical, square

Page 10: Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructureweb/@eis… ·  · 2016-05-02Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructure ... or towpreg – pre‐impregnated

Filament winding

Can be wet winding (through a resin bath) or towpreg –pre‐impregnated tow.

Similarly, slit tapes can be used

Page 12: Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructureweb/@eis… ·  · 2016-05-02Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructure ... or towpreg – pre‐impregnated

Filament winding

Composite usually needs to be cured in an oven or autoclave.

Often the expansion of the tool is used to help release the part.

It can also helps consolidate and can straighten 90 degree windings by removing wrinkling.

Filament winding ‐ advantages

Advantages include;• Easily design for specific strength or stiffness• Repeatable products

Page 15: Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructureweb/@eis… ·  · 2016-05-02Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructure ... or towpreg – pre‐impregnated

Filament winding ‐ advantages

• No weak plane around the circumference (as with fabric wrapping)

• Generally better consolidation than fabric wrapping• Batch process, setup cost is not high

Page 16: Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructureweb/@eis… ·  · 2016-05-02Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructure ... or towpreg – pre‐impregnated

Filament winding ‐ disadvantages

Disadvantages include:• Rate of production limited by number of fibres in production at one time.

• Batch process, batch sizes limited by tooling availability.

• Preparation and secondary processing can be time consuming

Filament winding ‐ disadvantages

Outside surface finish much wider tolerance on dimension and roughness than pultruded part. (surface finish comparison)

Powerpoles

• E‐glass and epoxy powerpoles, designed for Australian market (picture)– Wet winding is favourable in this instance, as high volume, low margin product.

– Stiffness / strength requirement easily achieved with FRP.– UV stable resin– Tough, scratch‐resistant / vandalism proof– Colour matched to concrete

Filament winding ‐ design

FMEA – Failure mode and effects analysisStiffness driven – A, B, D stiffnes matrices (classical laminate theory)

Strength driven – need to use known maximum strain and raw material test data.

Filament winding ‐ design

Two composite parts the same size may have a completely different ultimate strength in any given direction. 

Reasons for this include:• Fibre direction / ply layup (ordering of layers)• Fibre or resin strength or stiffness• Fibre / resin interaction (affecting ILSS)• Winding parameters – speed (ie voids introduced), bath 

and ambient temperature (affecting final fibre volume), tension

• Cure parameters

Dimensionally accurate and repeatableLow cost for higher volumesHigh production rateNo secondary processing (usually)

Page 41: Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructureweb/@eis… ·  · 2016-05-02Methods of Manufacture for Composite Materials in Infrastructure ... or towpreg – pre‐impregnated

Pultrusion ‐ disadvantages

High set up cost – tooling and infeedLess scope for error in productionPart size is limited due to the amount of fibre required and the force required to pull.

Conclusions

FRP products are becoming more prevalent across all industries – a result of more cost effective materials and processes.Understanding of the material properties and how they can be used to make products is key to the growth of the industry.
