Composite Materials and Manufacturing on DVD Published By Society of Manufacturing Engineers Media Type: DVD Published: Dec 01, 2003 Length (hr:min): 00:28 ISBN: no isbn on file Description Part of the Fundamental Manufacturing Processes (FMP) DVD series. This DVD program explains the basics of composite materials and manufacturing by featuring segments on: composite matrix and reinforcement materials, composite manufacturing processes, and composite fabrication and joining methods. The first segment features the primary types of matrix and reinforcement materials, as well as the various forms in which they are available. The composite manufacturing processes segment highlights the numerous methods of producing composite parts, including: manual lay-up, automated lay-up using tape laying machines and fiber placement machines, vacuum bag molding, spray-up, filament winding, pultrusion, and resin transfer molding. The various ways in which composite parts are cured is also presented. The composite fabrication and joining segment features the use of cutting, machining and drilling to fabricate composite parts, as well as, adhesive bonding and mechanical fastening methods for joining composite components.

Study Guide A PDF version of the video's study guide. Abstract This program includes information on the array of plastics finishing processes, arranging them into four categories: degating, deflashing, cleaning, and decorating. The degating section includes segments on manual degating and the various automated tooling devices. The deflashing section covers the cutting and trimming, media blasting and cryogenic deflashing processes. The cleaning segment features the ways in which contaminants infiltrate the molding process and how parts are cleaned for secondary decorative operations. The decoration section features lengthy examinations of the following processes: painting, plating, vacuum, metallizing, pad printing, hot stamping, silk screening, and the fill-and-wipe process. 2001, 23 min.
