Coupons preparation

Before providing mechanical, physical and chemical tests, some operations are necessary :

1. Panel manufacturing (RTM, RTM LRI, Pre-preg) Cutting, lay-up, Vacuum bagging, autoclave curing

2. Coupons trimming

3. Ultrasonic non destructive tests (A-scan, C-scan)

4. Tabs bounding with heating presses

5. Machining to required geometry (cutting, drilling,...)

6. Geometrical control (three-dimensional)

7. Fastener and strain gauge equipement

Humidity Aging

We can also realize on samples a conditioning which reproduces the part ageing in fast motion.

• Temperature / Humidity cycles

• Ageing UVA, UVB

• Salt fog

• Thermic shock

• Dumping : fuel, fluids acids...
