Abstract(s)
Cost-effective glass-reinforced thermoplastic matri
x towpregs produced by a powder coating
line were used to manufacture composite pipes by fi
lament winding. A conventional 6 axes
filament-winding equipment was adapted for processi
ng such structures. The influence of the
filament winding speed and mandrel temperature on t
he composite final properties was
studied in the present work. An optimized processin
g window was established by comparing
the composite theoretical expected mechanical prope
rties with the experimentally obtained
ones. The final properties determined on the produc
ed pipes and structures and the
technological changes introduced to the conventiona
l filament-winding equipment will be
presented and discussed. Besides the processing des
cription and conditions, it will be
presented the relationship between processing condi
tions and mechanical properties.
