[0027] Combination Figure 4 And Figure 5The present application discloses a molding die for preparing a composite sample with a pasted reinforcing sheet, wherein the reinforcing sheet can be a carbon plate, a glass fiber plate, an aluminum alloy plate or the like. The reinforcing sheet is preferably a glass fiber plate, which has good mechanical properties and a low price, and is suitable for mass purchase. The molding die mainly comprises a plurality of stainless steel plate components and bolt components. The stainless steel plate components are connected in series by the bolt components, and the bolts are fixed by nut components. The tension is adjusted by a torque with a scale. The stainless steel plate component is at least 4 pieces (which can be set according to specific needs), and has a square structure (the shape can also be set according to specific needs). The size of the stainless steel plate is 40 cm*40 cm*5 mm. The bolt is at least 4 pieces, and has a cylindrical structure with a size of 40 cm (height)*10 mm (diameter). The nut component matched with the bolt is at least 4 pieces, and has a hexagonal structure with a size of 5 mm (height)*12 mm (widest part).
[0028] The preparation process of the molding die is as follows:
[0029] In the first step, at least 4 pieces of stainless steel plates with smooth surfaces are placed together in a vertical manner, and centrifugal paper is attached between the stainless steel plates to isolate the A / B glue. After being tensioned, the 4 bolts are fixed by nuts at a tension of 1000-5000 N (which can be set according to specific needs) and a spacing of up to 5 cm between the two stainless steel plates. The running speed of the bolts / nuts is adjusted to adjust the spacing between the stainless steel plates, and the excess adhesive in the composite sample is squeezed out by the two stainless steel plates.
[0030] A method for preparing a carbon fiber composite sample with a pasted reinforcing sheet based on the molding die, comprising:
[0031] A plurality of composite samples with pasted reinforcing sheets are placed on the square sample mold, and the number of layers of the mold is selected according to the number of sample tests. The entire mold is placed in an oven with an inner cavity size of at least 1M*1M*1M, and cured at a temperature and time set for adhesive molding (generally at a temperature of 70°C and a time of 4h). After curing, the composite sample is removed from the mold.
[0032] Second step: the composite sample taken out in the first step is precisely cut by a carving machine to obtain batch samples; this process can still control conditions (precise cutting by a carving machine, control of the temperature and humidity of the external environment, i.e. temperature 23±2℃, humidity 50±10%), to ensure that all batch samples are completed under one condition without human differences, and the conditions of the batch samples prepared are completely consistent;
[0033] Third step: the batch samples cut out in the second step are detected by a powerful machine to obtain final data;
[0034] The forming mold combines the sample placement, reinforcement, glue control and sample forming processes into one under a certain controllable tension adjustment, and the tension can be adjusted and controlled through a movable wrench.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] This example provides a preparation method and effect verification of SACMA 1R-94, specifically including:
[0037] 1. Sample preparation
[0038] First, the carbon fiber composite sample laminated plate is pasted with a reinforcing piece, the adhesive WD3010A / B glue is mixed uniformly at 100:45, and attention should be paid to the thinness of the adhesive. After the reinforcing piece is pasted, the sample is first placed into a forming mold for preparing a composite material sample requiring a reinforcing piece, and then the mold is placed into an oven at 70℃ for 4h, and a carving machine is used to precisely cut into standard compression sample size (at least 6 samples). The geometric size of the sample and the reinforcing piece is shown in Table 1:
[0039] Table 1 Geometric size of SACMA 1R-94 compression sample
[0040]
[0041] 2. Measure the size
[0042] The cut sample is numbered, and the thickness and width of three points on the working section of each test sample are measured and averaged, and then the readings are clearly recorded.
[0043] 3. Test process
[0044] ①Open the test machine program TRAPEZIUM X, click "open method", select the compression performance test method, set the experimental conditions according to SACMA 1R-94, the compression rate is 1 mm / min, and the strength and modulus detection respectively selects different sample: the strength sample needs to paste the reinforcing sheet, and the modulus sample does not need to paste the reinforcing sheet. Set the extensometer to measure the strain of 1000-3000 ust, the limit is 0.01 mm, the gauge length is 5 mm, and the strain gauge selection box is checked. Open the sample size interface and input the sample size in turn, click complete to enter the test operation interface, and calibrate the testing machine in the operation interface.
[0045] ②Symmetrically paste strain gauges (strain gauge silk size ≤3mm) on both sides of the sample. Before pasting, use sandpaper to gently polish the test area until the surface is smooth without concave and convex points, then use a cotton ball soaked in anhydrous ethanol to wipe the test point, then paste the strain gauge with 502 glue, which should be thin and not thick, and gently chase out the air bubbles, then connect the thin lead wire to the strain gauge lead wire, then wrap the thin lead wire on the copper wire and connect it to the strain gauge through the bridge box, and then calibrate and zero the strain gauge.
[0046] ③Sample clamping: The fixture for testing the compression strength of composite materials by combined loading method is complex, and the clamping process of the sample is also complex. It should be clamped according to the requirements of SACMA SRM 1R-94 standard. During the clamping process, it is necessary to ensure that the upper and lower end faces of the sample are parallel, and the sample is perpendicular to the fixture platform, and the bolt is tightened to 0.7-1.0 J, otherwise "top blooming" will occur and the sample will break outside the gauge length section. At the same time, pay attention to fix the connection lead wire of the strain gauge on the fixture with adhesive tape to prevent short circuit caused by contact with the fixture.
[0047] ④Place the combined loading fixture with the clamped sample between the upper and lower compression plates of the testing machine, adjust the crossbeam to make it as close as possible to the combined loading fixture without contacting it. After zeroing the load / stress in the experimental interface, continue to manually adjust the position of the crossbeam to make the compression fixture bear a pre-load of 20-50 N. Click "start experiment" to perform the experiment until the sample breaks.
[0048] ⑤After the experiment is finished, unload the sample, and bundle the broken sample with adhesive tape and mark the number. If the fracture occurs in an unacceptable failure mode and area, it needs to be retested. Whether the composite standard requirements are met is judged according to the fracture mode defined in the standard SACMA SRM 1R-94.
[0049] ⑥After the experiment is finished, save the data, write the sample name, test time and other important information for easy query. Clean the test machine workbench.
[0050] 4. Repeated testing: Based on the data in Tables 2 and 3, the data of the experimental examples and the comparative examples were compared horizontally. It was found that the strength of the SACMA 1R-94 compression sample prepared by the molding mold was generally increased by about 5%, and the stress-strain diagram of the SACMA 1R-94 compression sample is shown in Figure 1
[0051] Table 2: Test data of SACMA 1R-94 compression sample

[0053] Table 3: Examples and comparative examples of SACMA 1R-94 compression sample
[0054]
[0055] Example 2
[0056] This example provides the preparation method and effect verification of ASTM D6641, which specifically includes:
[0057] 1. Sample preparation
[0058] First, the carbon fiber composite sample laminated plate is pasted with a reinforcing piece, and the adhesive WD3010A / B is mixed uniformly at a ratio of 100:45. It is noted that the adhesive should be thin and not thick. After the reinforcing piece is pasted, the sample is first placed in a molding mold for preparing a composite material sample with a reinforcing piece, and then the mold is placed in an oven at 70°C for 4 hours. The sample is precisely cut into a standard compression sample size (at least 6 samples) by a carving machine. The geometric size of the sample and the reinforcing piece is shown in Table 4:
[0059] Table 4: Geometric size of ASTM D6641 compression sample
[0060]
[0061] 2. Measure the size
[0062] The cut sample is numbered, and the thickness and width of three points on the gauge section of each test sample are measured and the readings are clearly recorded.
[0063] 3. Test process
[0064] ①Open the test machine program TRAPEZIUM X, click "open method", select the compression performance test method, set the experimental conditions according to ASTM D 6641 / D 6641M-09, the compression rate is 1.3 mm / min, set the extensometer measurement strain to 20000 ust, the limit is 0.1 mm, the gage length is 5 mm, and check the strain gauge selection box. Open the sample size interface and input the sample size in turn, click complete to enter the test operation interface, and calibrate the testing machine in the operation interface.
[0065] ②Symmetrically paste strain gauges on both sides of the sample. Before pasting, use a cotton ball soaked in anhydrous ethanol to clean the test points, then paste the strain gauges with 502 glue, which should be thin and not thick, and gently remove the air bubbles. Then connect the strain gauges to the strain gauge through the bridge box with the lead wire, and calibrate and zero the strain gauge. Figure 1 .
[0066] ③Sample clamping: The fixture for testing the compression strength of composite materials by combined loading method is complex, and the clamping process of the sample is also complex. It should be clamped according to the requirements of ASTM D 6641 / D 6641M-09 standard. During the clamping process, it is necessary to ensure that the upper and lower end faces of the sample are on the same horizontal plane as the two end faces of the fixture, otherwise "top blooming" will occur and the sample will break outside the gage length section. At the same time, pay attention to fix the connection lead wire of the strain gauge on the fixture with adhesive tape to prevent short circuit caused by contact with the fixture.
[0067] ④Place the clamped sample combined loading fixture between the upper and lower compression plates of the testing machine, adjust the crossbeam to make it as close as possible to the combined loading fixture without contacting it. After adjusting the load / stress to zero on the experimental interface, continue to manually adjust the position of the crossbeam to make the compression fixture bear a pre-load of 20-50 N. Click "start experiment" to perform the experiment until the sample breaks.
[0068] ⑤After the experiment is finished, unload the sample, and bundle the broken sample with adhesive tape and mark the number. If the breaking mode and area are unacceptable, the sample needs to be retested. Refer to the breaking mode defined in the standard ASTM D 6641 / D 6641M-09 to determine whether the composite standard requirements are met.
[0069] ⑥After the experiment is finished, save the data, write down the sample name, test time and other important information for easy query. Clean the test machine workbench.

[0078] 1. Sample preparation
[0079] First, the carbon fiber composite sample laminated plate is pasted with a reinforcing piece, and the adhesive WD3010A / B is mixed uniformly at 100:45. Note that the adhesive should be thin and not thick. After the reinforcing piece is pasted, the sample is first placed in a molding mold that requires the reinforcing piece to be pasted to prepare the composite material sample, and then the mold is placed in an oven at 70°C for 4 hours. The sample is precisely cut into a standard compression sample size (at least 6 samples) using an engraving machine. The geometric dimensions of the sample and the reinforcing piece are shown in the table:
[0080] Table 7 Geometric dimensions of ASTM D3039 tensile samples
[0081]
[0082] 2. Measure the size
[0083] The cut sample is numbered, and the thickness and width are measured at three points within 5mm of each end of the middle distance gauge, and the readings are clearly recorded.
[0084] 3. Test process
[0085] ① Open the TRAPEZIUM X program of the testing machine, click "open method", select the tensile property test method, and set the experimental conditions according to ASTM D 3039 / D3039M. The tensile rate is 2mm / min, the extension gauge full scale is set to 2.5mm, the limit is 0.2mm, and the gauge length is 50mm. Open the sample size interface and input the sample size in sequence, click complete to enter the test operation interface, and zero and calibrate the testing machine and extension gauge in the operation interface.
[0086] 2. Install the specimen on the wedge grips of the Instron machine and apply the initial load of 250 N. After the pre-load is stable, gently clamp the extensometer in the middle of the specimen and fix the extensometer with the clamped contact part of the specimen with rubber bands to prevent the extensometer from slipping during the test. Gently remove the extensometer positioning pin.
[0087] 3. After adjusting the extensometer strain to zero at the experimental interface, click "Start Experiment" when the limit set by the extensometer is reached. Pause the experiment, remove the extensometer and insert the positioning pin, and then continue the experiment until the specimen is destroyed.
[0088] 4. After the experiment is finished, unload the specimen and bundle the broken specimen with tape and record the number. If the fracture occurs inside the reinforcement or the clamped end, it needs to be retested. Refer to the standard ASTM D 3039 / D3039M to determine whether the fracture mode meets the standard requirements.
