Abstract
This study aims to reveal the heating behavior of CFRTP composites by induction heating method. The material used is UD-CF/PPS and woven CF/PPS laminates. The effects of geometry of coils, coil distance, heating time and the carbon fiber reinforcement on heating behavior of CFRTP composites in induction heating were investigated. The experimental results revealed that the surface temperature of UD-CF/PPS and woven-CF/PPS laminates was increased with increasing the heating time. Moreover, the surface temperature was increased with decreased the coil distance remarkably.
