4.2.8 AS4 12k/3502 unidirectional tape Material Description: Material: Form: AS4-12k/3502 Unidirectional tape, fiber areal weight of 150 g/m , typical cured resin content of 32-45%, typical cured ply thickness of 0.0052 inches. Autoclave cure; 275 F, 85 psi for 45 minutes; 350F, 85 psi, hold for 2 hours. Post cure at 400F to develop optimum 350F properties.
2

Processing:

General Supplier Information: Fiber: AS4 fibers are continuous high strength, high strain, standard, modulus carbon filaments made from PAN precursor. The fibers are surface treated to improve handling characteristics and structural properties, offering good drape. Filament count is 12,000 fila6 ments/tow. Typical tensile modulus is 34 x 10 psi. Typical tensile strength is 550,000 psi. 3502 is an epoxy resin. Good tack; up to 10 days out-time at ambient temperature. 350F (dry), 180F (wet)

Matrix:

Maximum Short Term Service Temperature: Typical applications:

Primary and secondary structural applications on commercial and military aircraft.

Processing:

General Supplier Information: Fiber: AS4 fibers are continuous carbon filaments made from PAN precursor, surface treated to improve handling characteristics and structural properties. Filament count is 3000 fila6 ments/tow. Typical tensile modulus is 34 x 10 psi. Typical tensile strength is 550,000 psi. 3501-6S is an amine-cured epoxy resin. This resin is a solvated material. It results in a more drapeable prepreg for use on highly complex parts. This resin is also amenable to cocuring. The hot/wet strengths are slightly lower than the non-solvated resin. It will retain light tack for a minimum of 10 days at room temperature. 300F (dry), 180F (wet)

Typical tensile strength is 550,000 psi. 3502 is an epoxy resin. This is a solvated resin formulated to improve drapeability over complex shapes. The hot/wet strengths will be slightly lower than the non-solvated resin. Good tack up to 10 days out-time at ambient temperature. 350F (dry), 180F (wet)

Matrix:

Maximum Short Term Service Temperature: Typical applications:

Primary and secondary structural applications on commercial and military aircraft.

4.2.26 AS4 6k/PR500 5-harness satin weave fabric Material Description: Material: Form: AS4 6k/PR500 5 harness satin weave fabric, with 4% PT500 tackifier resin, fiber areal weight of 370 2 g/m , injected with PR500 resin by Resin Transfer Molding (RTM); typical cured resin content of 28-34%, typical cured ply thickness of 0.013 - 0.0145 inches. RTM injection at > 320F, cure for 2 hours at 350F

Processing:

General Supplier Information: Fiber: Hercules/Hexcel AS4 fibers are continuous carbon filaments made from a PAN precursor 6 woven into 5HS fabric. Typical tensile modulus is 34 x 10 psi. Typical tensile strength is 550,000 psi. 3M PR 500 is a one part, 350F curing epoxy resin system especially suited to RTM processing. Characteristics include: excellent toughness with 300F wet mechanical performance, several weeks of room temperature stability and low viscosity at recommended injection temperature. 350F (dry), 300F (wet)

Matrix:

Maximum Short Term Service Temperature: Typical applications:

Primary and secondary aircraft structure (commercial and military) and other applications requiring unusual hot/wet properties and impact resistance where RTM advantages such as precise dimensional tolerances, part consolidation, complex lay-ups and replicated surface finishes are desired.

Vacuum Bag cure; 195F, 126 mm Hg, 45 minutes

Processing:

General Supplier Information: Fiber: T300 3k fibers are continuous carbon filaments made from PAN precursor, surface treated to improve handling characteristics and structural properties. Filament count is 6 3,000 filaments per tow. Typical tensile modulus is 33 x 10 psi. Typical tensile strength is 530,000 psi. EA9396 is a 200F curing toughened epoxy resin with improved hot/wet properties. 75 minute pot life for 1 lb. batch. This resin is a two part, unfilled version of EA 9394. 300F (dry), 180F (wet)

Matrix:

Maximum Short Term Service Temperature: Typical applications: aircraft repair

Data Analysis Summary: 1. This material was tested at fiber volumes that exceed what are typically used for repair. Data should be substantiated if used at lower fiber volumes. 2. Elevated temperature, wet properties for compression and shear are low and have increased variability because the material was tested near the glass transition temperature. 3. Reported fiber volumes and resin contents are not consistent with the measured ply thicknesses. 4. Data are from publicly available report, Reference 4.2.27.

4.2.29 T650-35 12k/976 unidirectional tape Material Description: Material: Form: T650-35 12k/976 Unidirectional tape prepreg, fiber areal weight of 145 g/m , typical cured resin content of 39-45%, typical cured ply thickness of 0.0049 - 0.0058 inches. Autoclave cure, 350F, 95 psi, 90 minutes
2

Processing:

General Supplier Information: Fiber: T650-35 fibers are continuous, no twist carbon filaments made from PAN precursor, surface treated to improve handling characteristics and structural properties. Filament count 6 is 12,000 filaments/tow. Typical tensile modulus is 35 x 10 psi. Typical tensile strength is 650,000 psi. 976 is a high flow, modified epoxy resin that meets the NASA outgassing requirements. 10 days out-time at 72F. 350F (dry), 250F (wet)

Matrix:

Maximum Short Term Service Temperature: Typical applications:

General purpose commercial and military structural applications.

Data Analysis Summary: 1. Glass transition temperature results were high for an epoxy. 2. Low longitudinal tension strengths were not reported due to low data and unresolved issues about the testing. 3. A high end outlier for compression modulus at 72F ambient was not discarded because no inconsistencies were found. 4. For transverse tension strength at -67F ambient and 250F wet, scatter is too high to report basis values.

Autoclave cure, 350F, 95 psi, 90 minutes
2

Processing:

General Supplier Information: Fiber: T650-35 fibers are continuous, no-twist carbon filaments made from PAN precursor, surface treated to improve handling characteristics and structural properties. Filament count 6 is 3000 filaments/tow. Typical tensile modulus is 35 x 10 psi. Typical tensile strength is 650,000 psi. 976 is a high flow, modified epoxy resin that meets the NASA outgassing requirements. 10 days out-time at 72F. 350F (dry), 250F (wet)

Matrix:

Maximum Short Term Service Temperature: Typical applications:

General purpose commercial and military structural applications.

Data Analysis Summary: 1. For transverse tension, a bowtie specimen is not in concert with the test method used. 2. Two low end outliers for transverse compression modulus at -67F ambient were not discarded because no inconsistencies were found.
