Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and apparatus for fabricating a short length carbon fiber preform with a through thickness reinforcement is disclosed herein. The starting media for fabricating a net shape (e.g., annular disc) may meet specific requirements including a sufficient fiber volume and a binding mechanism compatible with the needle-punching process.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: opening, blending and webbing in random fiber orientation a plurality of short length carbon fiber bundles and a thermoplastic binder material to form a blend, wherein the short length carbon fiber bundles comprise short length carbon fibers less than about 3 inches in length; locally applying heat and pressure to an annular portion of the blend of the plurality of short length carbon fiber bundles and the thermoplastic binder material…
