The company i work for are trying to make a mould to make a carbon fibre component. In order to cure the Material we need to take the mould up to 130C-140C.
We would like to make the mould out of aluminium as its easy to machine, compared to steel etc.
I am a little worried that at these...
Thank you all for your help, but the furnace is very small and will be used to test the structural capability of FRP structures under both fire and load. Basically the furnace follows the ISO or Hydrocarbon curve with a FRP panel bolted to the open plate section on the front of furnace, whilst...
I am trying to find an adhesive to attach a thermocouple to a GRP plate. I was considering sodium silicate adhesive which can hold at high temperatures but is not very flexible, which is a problem as the plate will be flexing. I've heard that mixing this with ball clay can produce a flexible...
I have already posted on here about the design of the flue for a small gas fired test furnace. The ID is 50mm and i have good insulation around the SS310. I would like the flue gas temperatures to come down to around 180C max. The volume of the furnace is 400 mm3 and temperatures inside are...
Thank you very much for your reply. The reason we need to use a gas fired burner is because we are trying to emulate the hydrocarbon fire, and hence need to test with real flames at 1100C, and we need to follow the ISO curve, which means we need to get to this operating temperature very quickly...
I am building a test furnace to test composite panels whilst being under load. The internal diameter of the furnace is 400mm cubed. I am unsure on how to design the diameter of the flue? I want the temperature of the air coming out of the flue to be as cold as possible.
We are putting in...
Thanks you for your reply.
I do have an end code G4 M2 etc, but had to add it at the end manually.
The machine is a Matchmaker 750, but it is controlled by a numericon 850 if that helps, maybe you have one of those in the library?
We do have an RS-232 cable hooked up to the thing.
It does...
We have 3 cnc machines now, 2 which are relatively new and one which is very very old. Its a matchmaker 750 CNC milling machine. We have it linked via serial to a computer which we feed the g code to.
We are having some problems getting a post processor to work with mastercam. We have a generic...
