Abstract:Since the late 1980s a small number of research groups have been attracted with the idea of using induction heating technology for the processing of fibre reinforced polymer composites. Induction technology is suitable for the processing of thermoplastic and thermoset polymer materials but requires special susceptor additives (conductive materials) either in the form of structured fibres and fabric or particulate that can transform the electromagnetic energy into heat. This paper aims to summarize the principles of induction heating with respect to polymer composites processing taking a look first at material and equipment based process influences. State of the art applications and research activities are then reviewed, from thermoplastic composite welding, thermoset curing, selective material heating and fast mould heating technologies. Current simulation possibilities and available software tools have also been covered. Finally, some new ideas and possibilities for future developments in the field of polymer composites processing have been discussed.
