Abstract: A method for preparing a PEKK powder for use in SLS includes the steps of: providing a raw, non-powder PEKK material; heat treating the raw PEKK to evaporate at least substantially all of a liquid solvent in the raw PEKK, causing at least substantially all of the raw PEKK to be in the form of irregularly-shaped particles; cooling the raw PEKK; and grinding the raw PEKK to form a PEKK powder.

Abstract: A powder composition suitable for use in selective laser sintering for printing an object. The powder composition includes a first fraction including a plurality of polyaryletherketone (PAEK) particles having a mean diameter less than 30 microns, a second fraction having a plurality of polyaryletherketone (PAEK) particles having a mean diameter greater than 30 microns, and a third fraction having a plurality of carbon fibers. The first fraction and the second fraction are formed by an air classification separation performed on a pulverized powder. After the separation, the first fraction, the second fraction, and the third fraction are blended in a high intensity mixer. The powder composition when used in selective laser sinter results in parts with increased tensile strength and reduced surface roughness, among other improvements, as compared to similar powders omitting the first fraction. The PAEK may include polyetherketoneketone (PEKK).

Abstract: An acoustic honeycomb panel is plugged with an acoustic honeycomb plug. The acoustic honeycomb plug is adhesively bonded in the panel using a honeycomb seam. The honeycomb seam is composed of a honeycomb support that is located within the seam channel and an adhesive. Using honeycomb seams to adhesively bond acoustic honeycomb plugs into acoustic honeycomb panels is useful in repairing damaged areas of acoustic honeycomb panels that are located in the acoustic treatments for jet engines.

Abstract: A thermal panel having a high temperature side located nearest a source of heat and a low temperature side. The thermal panel includes a corrugated composite material core having hot side ridges and cold side ridges. A hot side skin is attached to the hot side ridges to form a plurality of first cells. A cold side skin is attached to the cold side ridges to form a plurality of second cells. The first cells and second cells are substantially filled with an insulating material that has a thermal conductivity which is lower than the thermal conductivity of the composite material.

Abstract: Pre-impregnated composite material (prepreg) that can be cured/molded to form aerospace composite parts that are designed to tolerate hot and wet conditions. The prepreg includes fibers and an uncured resin. The uncured resin includes an epoxy component that is a combination of a trifunctional epoxy resin, a tetrafunctional epoxy resin and a solid epoxy resin. The resin further includes polyethersulfone as a toughening agent and a curing agent.

Abstract: The invention is directed to carbon fibers having high tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. The invention also provides a method and apparatus for making the carbon fibers. The method comprises advancing a precursor fiber through an oxidation oven wherein the fiber is subjected to controlled stretching in an oxidizing atmosphere in which tension loads are distributed amongst a plurality of passes through the oxidation oven, which permits higher cumulative stretches to be achieved. The method also includes subjecting the fiber to controlled stretching in two or more of the passes that is sufficient to cause the fiber to undergo one or more transitions in each of the two or more passes. The invention is also directed to an oxidation oven having a plurality of cooperating drive rolls in series that can be driven independently of each other so that the amount of stretch applied to the oven in each of the plurality of passes can be independently controlled.
