Our expert team can tell you more about autoclave curing with nitrogen in space hardware manufacturing.
Nitrogen in the Supply Mode You Need
Curing Carbon-fiber Composites in Nitrogen-pressurized Autoclaves
Contributing to fuel efficiency through lightweight spacecraft designs leveraging the benefits of carbon-fiber composites.
Enabling Lightweight Designs for Greater Efficiency
Regardless of the mission, weight is a key success factor in the design of all materials, components and sub-systems for satellites and other spacecraft. One way of lowering weight is by using carbon-fiber composites in spacecraft structures. The "lay-up" or molding process for these parts involves the composite material being cured in an autoclave. These large vessels are pressurized with nitrogen - which we deliver in the supply modes and purities required for this critical manufacturing step.
