Abstract

Liquid Composite Molding (LCM), an Out of Autoclave (OoA) composite manufacturing process, has big advantages when making large and complex structures of airplanes. Since the importance of LCM process is increasing, FAA has suggested recommended guidance and criteria for the development of material and process specifications for LCM materials and process. The importance of LCM process is also raised by domestic composite material suppliers and OEM. This study suggested structures of material specifications and process specification of LCM materials. Material qualification method for LCM process and material was also developed in this study.

액상성형공정(LCM, Liquid Composite Molding) 은 복합재료 오토클레이브(Autoclave) 성형공정의 단점을 극복할 수 있는 탈 오토클레이브(OoA, Out of Autoclave) 공정의 하나로 매우 복잡한 형상이나 대형 구조물을 일체형으로 만들 수 있어 항공산업에서 큰 경쟁력을 가진 공법으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 장점 때문에 액상성형공정을 적용한 항공 부품제작 수요가 늘고 있으며 FAA에서는 액상성형공정을 적용한 복합재료에 대한 인증(Qualification) 방법을 제시한 바 있다. 국내에서도 액상성형공정 적용 복합재료에 대한 부품제작 수요 및 재료인증 수요가 꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존에 구축된 프리프레그 복합재료 인증방안 이외에 LCM 공정을 적용한 복합재료에 대한 인증방안을 수립하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다.
