SCRIMP

SCRIMP process This Seeman Composites Resin Infusion Process (SCRIMP) is described as a gas-assist resin transfer molding process. As an example glass fiber fabrics/ thermoset vinyl ester polyester plastic and polyurethane foam panels (for insulation) are placed in a segmented tool. A vacuum is pulled with a bag so that a huge amount of plastic can be drawn into the mold (Marco process approach). Its curved roof is made separately and bonded to the box with mechanical and adhesive fastening. It is similar to various reinforced plastics molding processes.

However, that trip didn t just happen for our family because I waited. The money didn t just fall from the sky, and the trip didn t magically plan itself. That summer, I thought that because I had waited, a good thing happened. Now that I know more about the world, I realize that my parents had to work hard to make that trip happen. First of all, they had to scrimp and save money. They also had to postpone other plans they had, such as buying a new washing machine or a new school wardrobe for me and my sister. Instead of several new outfits, we only got a few new things. My parents worked overtime for most of the summer, and they also had to find inexpensive accommodations and entertainment so that we could afford the trip. 

The mechanical intricacies of caps are not difficult to understand, but construction details must be followed with great vigor lest the results be erratic and dangerous. Skipping a step or scrimping on execution because one is busy, inept, or lacks correct materials just won t cut it. In most cases, extensive and perhaps boring explanations are included, explaining why a process must be undertaken as outlined. 

Precipitated hydroxides age with time, losing a fraction of incorporated water. Their volume decreases because of dehydratation as a consequence, they scrimp and crac imtil total disintegration occurs. The disintegrated parts of older nodules are the best nuclei for the next generation of nodules, because already precipitated manganese and iron hydroxides catalyze further precipitation (Fig. 8).

SCRIMP This process involves placing a peel-ply and distribution medium between the fibre preform and the vacuum bag (Figure 3.7). Advantages include speeding up the filling process, i.e. resin infusion. 

VIPR This process is a development of VARTM and SCRIMP (Figure 3.8). It involves placing a vacuum chamber over the vacuum bag. Advantages include reduced fiUing time and the ability to direct the flow to regions which are difficult to fill. 

Warship builder Vosper Thornycroft, initially a SCRIMP licensee, subsequently developed its own method for single-shot infusion of up to 30 laminate plies, including heavy shipbuilding fabrics, and complex structures with inserts, cores, stiffeners and festeners. Since vacuum bags are used for consolidation rather than precision matched tooling, set-up costs are modest and labor is said to be halved compared with hand lay-up. 

SCRIMP has been shown to be able to produce consistently high quality parts, including high-end military minesweepers, pleasure boats, windmill blades, marine fenders and piling, a 14.6 m (48 ft) all-RP flatbed trailer, utihty poles ft>r transmission lines, small temporary bridges. Lockheed has also used it for carbon fiber laminates. A noteworthy application was an insulated railcar, molded in two parts, with a 5-toime body (fabricated from Dow s Derakane vinyl ester with Vetrotex E-glass fiber and Dow polyurethane (PUR) foam core for insulation, molded on a segmented FRP tool). 

This Seeman Composites Resin Infusion Process (SCRIMP) has been used to manufacture corrosion resistance bus shells (Chapter 5). North America Bus Industries (NABI) of Anniston, AL uses glass fiber-polyester plastic material from TPI Composites of Warren, RI. These new buses weigh about 10,000 kg (22,000 lb) that is 3200 kg (7000 lb) lighter than steel units. Lighter weight results in reduced axial loads, brake wear, etc. and improved fuel efficiency.

RIFT or vacuum resin infusion is a hybrid of RTM and vacuum bag molding. In RIFT, one mold face of RTM is replaced by a flexible polymeric bag and resin is introduced into the mold by vacuum only. The process is better known in the USA as SCRIMP, which is a patented process. During resin infusion, the initial dry fiber compaction affects the permeability to resin flow and is time dependent, but when the resin enters the fibers, it appears to act as a lubricant and leads to further compaction. 

SMARTweave [82,83] is very useful for molding thick parts and can be used with RTM, SCRIMP , vacuum assisted RTM and other resin infusion processes.
