    Abstract: A shrinkable foam mandrel that can be easily removed and composite resin transfer molding process that uses the foam mandrel. The foam is dimensionally stable at a first temperature that typically corresponds to the cure temperature of the composite resin. The foam is capable of irreversibly shrinking to less than about 0.5 said foam's original size at a second temperature that is above said first temperature. The foam is encapsulated by a non-stick elastomer skin and covered with fibers. The fiber covered elastomer encapsulated foam is disposed in a female mold cavity and resin is injected into the female mold cavity. The resin and fibers are cured and the resulting composite component is removed from the female mold. The temperature is raised to the second temperature and the elastomer encapsulated foam male mandrel irreversibly shrinks to less than about 0.5 its original size. Finally the shrunken male mandrel is removed from said composite component. These mandrels are a solution to the aerospace industry's flyaway mandrel problem as they are lightweight and can easily be removed from the composite component.

    Abstract: UN MANDRIL DE ESPUMA DE LATEX CONTRAIBLE QUE PUEDE SER FACILMENTE SEPARADO Y UNA RESINA COMPUESTA CAMBIAN EL PROCESO DE MOLDEADO QUE USA EL MANDRIL DE ESPUMA DE LATEX. LA ESPUMA ES DIMENSIONALMENTE ESTABLE A UNA PRIMERA TEMPERATURA QUE CORRESPONDE A LA TEMPERATURA DE FRAGUADO DE LA RESINA COMPUESTA. LA ESPUMA ES CAPAZ DE CONTRAERSE IRREVERSIBLEMENTE A MENOS DE ALREDEDOR DEL 0,5 DEL TAMAÑO ORIGINAL DE LA MISMA A UNA SEGUNDA TEMPERATURA QUE ESTA ALREDEDOR DE LA PRIMERA. LA ESPUMA DE LATEX SE ENCAPSULA MEDIANTE UNA CUBIERTA ELASTOMERICA Y SE CUBRE CON FIBRAS. LA ESPUMA ASI ENCAPSULADA SE DISPONE EN UNA CAVIDAD DE MOLDE HEMBRA Y LA RESINA SE INYECTA EN EL INTERIOR DE DICHA CAVIDAD. LA RESINA Y LAS FIBRAS FRAGUAN Y EL COMPONENTE COMPUESTO SE SEPARA DEL MOLDE HEMBRA. LA TEMPERATURA SE ELEVA A LA SEGUNDA TEMPERATURA Y EL MANDRIL MACHO DE ESPUMA DE LATEX DE ENCAPSULADO ELASTOMERO SE CONTRAE IRREVERSIBLEMENTE A MENOS DE LA MITAD DE SU TAMAÑO ORIGINAL. FINALMENTE EL MANDRIL MACHO CONTRAIDO SE SEPARADE DICHO COMPONENTE COMPUESTO. ESTOS MANDRILES SON UNA SOLUCION PARA LOS PROBLEMAS DE LA INDUSTRIA AEROESPACIAL POR SER MUY LIGEROS DE PESO Y PODER FACILMENTE SEPARARSE DEL COMPONENTE COMPUESTO.
