Effect of in situ treatment on the quality of flat thermoplastic composite plates made by automated fiber placement (AFP)

Composite structures used as aerosurfaces in aerodynamic applications are required to have a certain surface finish quality. In manufacturing of thermoplastic composites using automated fiber placement (AFP) for aerodynamic applications, it is not only desirable to achieve good consolidation by usin...
