Abstract
Impregnation quality is critical to the whole composite part. To improve it in a novel way, the infusion from both inside and outside at same time is introduced. Pores parameters are valuable during process for its special structure. To determine pores factors influence on cycle filling time, different strategies of pores depth along the tube, the tubes location and arrangement with pores in the preform are analyzed and studied. Conclusions showed that with greater depth of pores in the preform, the cycle filling time will be shorter. Comparison of filling time of tubes with pores situation strategies indicated that distance from resin source is a key factor to filling process. If the assembly makes the fibers in the preform nearest to the resource or pressure gradient field distribution uniform, the cycle filling time will be shorter.
