Abstract
Reducing the weight of aircraft is of great value both economically and environmentally. The use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermo Plastics, which uses thermoplastic resin, enables materials to be fused together, enabling high-rate production. One heating method for fusion is induction heating, which uses the electromagnetic induction effect of a coil. When heating carbon fiber (CF) cloth, it is important to heat the fusion surface uniformly. To determine the fusion conditions for eddy current analysis and heat conduction analysis, electrical resistivity is required. Because the temperature of CF cloth changes during electromagnetic induction heating, it is very important to understand the temperature dependence of electrical resistance. This paper reports the effect of temperature on the electrical resistance characteristics of CF cloth.
