Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding
Albany Engineered Composites
As an extension of our Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) expertise, AEC offers our customers the capability to perform Vacuum assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VaRTM) for large composite structures. VaRTM is a process for molding fiber reinforced composite structures in which a sheet of flexible transparent material such as nylon or Mylar plastic is placed over the preform on the mold and sealed.
LEAP Fan Case
Albany Engineered Composites
Composite fan module (comprised of blades, platforms, spacers, and fan case) is 300 pounds lighter compared to equivalent metallic components per engine. Improvements in damage tolerance, durability and resultant reductions in maintenance costs provide clear value proposition.
Resin Transfer Molding
Albany Engineered Composites
Albany Engineered Composites (AEC) has placed considerable emphasis on the development of in-house resin transfer molding for the fabrication of high performance structural composites. Resin transfer molding produces parts to net shape with good surface finish, low void content and required levels of fiber volume.
