an experimental autoclave is employed for polymeric diaphragm forming of carbon-fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (peek) innovative tool design, resulting in cheap and light mould construction, gives cycle times of 60 min. male and female hemispherical section parts, as well as a box-shaped model trailer, are formed by applying differential pressures across a double polyimide diaphragm. good part quality, excellent surface finish, controlled fiber-placement and uniform thickness, between - 10 and $plus$ 13, are demonstrated. the phenomenon of 'shear-buckling' occurs in female moulds as the ratio of lay-up area to formed area increases. diaphragm elongation is a function of mould and part geometry, and is shown to be quite different between upper and lower diaphragms and between male and female moulds, as well as being a function of surface-ply orientation.
