Historically, most designers of structural composite components for aerospace applications have taken for granted the need for an autoclave cure. Despite the fact that cost and time advantages of ...

Parameters for steam-sterilization autoclave overkill cycles should be chosen based on process understanding. Conventionally, the term “overkill cycle" in validation of a steam-sterilization autoclave ...

Sterilization validation must be based on a robust, quality-by-design philosophy; autoclave overkill cycles should be validated by correlating lethality data to support chosen critical process ...

The commercial debut of the hood and roof is a significant milestone for automotive composites. Pound for pound, carbon composites are the lightest, strongest construction materials available to ...

“In these tests, we found that our out-of-autoclave composite was just as strong as the gold-standard autoclave process composite used for primary aerospace structures,” Wardle says. The team will ...
