Hexcel Corporation, a leading advanced composites company that develops lightweight, high-performance structural materials for commercial aerospace, space, defence, and industrial applications, is exhibiting at the Aero India 2017 show, the premiere air show in Asia, from February 14 to 18, 2017, in Bangalore, in stand B 4, 1b-hall B.
The air show promotes a range of carbon fibres and composites that are benefiting Indian aerospace manufacturers for commercial aircraft, helicopters, and space programs.Hexcel Corporation, a leading advanced composites company that develops lightweight, high-performance structural materials for commercial aerospace, space, defence, and industrial applications, is exhibiting in stand B4, 1b hall B at the Aero India 2017 show, the premiere air show in Asia, to be held in Bangalore from February 14-18, 2017.#
Hexcel has supplied carbon and glass fibre fabrics, prepregs, honeycombs, and adhesives to Indian aerospace companies for over 26 years, including Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), National Aerospace Lab (NAL), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), and TATA Advanced Materials.
On the Hexcel booth, visitors can see a section of a composite beam demonstrator manufactured by hot forming from Hexcel’s HexPly M21 UD carbon fibre prepreg. Hexcel’s HexPly M21E/IMA prepreg is used by TATA Advanced Materials to make spars and composite panels for the Airbus A350 XWB. The A350 XWB is the first Airbus to have a structure that is over 50 per cent composites and Hexcel is supplying the carbon fibre prepreg for all of the A350 XWB primary structures.
Hexcel’s high strength and intermediate modulus carbon fibre range has been augmented by the launch of HexTow HM63, a high modulus carbon fibre that has the highest tensile strength of any existing HM fibre. HexTow HM63 provides outstanding translation of fibre properties in a composite, including superior inter-laminar shear and compression shear strength. HexTow HM63, ideal for any high stiffness and strength-critical applications including space, satellites, UAV, commercial aerospace, and helicopters, is presented at the show.
Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) is a composite manufacturing process that allows high quality components to be produced, with good surface quality, without using autoclaves. Hexcel has recently launched HexFlow RTM6-2 to provide the industry with a bi-component version of its highly successful RTM6 resin, making it easier to transport by air or sea outside Europe.
Hexcel developed HiTape advanced dry carbon fibre reinforcements for the automated manufacture of preforms at very high deposition rates. The preforms are infused with Hexcel’s RTM6 epoxy resin in a cost-efficient out of autoclave process. A video on the Hexcel stand will show the rapid lay-up of preforms for aerospace structures using the HiTape process. (GK)
