Composites 102: Wet Layup & Destructive Testing - Day 1

  • SPEEA Aerospace Career Enhancement 2414 106th Street Southwest Everett, WA, 98204 United States (map)

Participants will learn:

Participants will learn basic composites manufacturing skills at an introductory level. Including 30 common basic composites terms, basic safety procedures & practices, and the basics of wet layup & vacuum bag techniques. Students will also be exposed to basic, simple materials such as fibers, resins, consumables, as well as engineering analysis tools and techniques. After building their own composite laminates, students will have the chance to test them through destructive means. To participate in Wet Layup & Destructive Testing #2 on May 10, 2025, students must attend Wet Layup & Destructive Testing #1 on Thursday, May 8, 2025.

The first session will go over Composite basics and lab safety.

Over the 3-part course, students will also learn how to:
o Cut the fabric at precisely the correct size and orientation.
o Mix the resin, including precise quantity, ratios, and mixing times.
o Apply resin to fabric without distorting / unravelling the fabric.
o Place the fabric accurately, placement and orientation.
o Apply release films, breathers, peel plies.
o Apply vacuum bags, sealants and vacuum ports.
o Keep proper records.
