Technical training
Blade Repair Standard / V5 02052025
a. how curing at an elevated temperature will affect the glass transition temperature of the cured material
b. how to find the correct curing temperature for a material from the manufacturer technical data sheet (TDS)
c. that the TDS curing temperature must be cross-checked with the blade manufacturer mixing and curing work instructions
Ask the participants relevant questions about how curing at elevated temperature will affect the glass transition temperature (TG) and how the TG will affect the strength of the cured material and explain where to find the correct curing temperatures for a given material Give constructive feedback on the participants’ explanations about how curing at elevated temperature will affect the glass transition temperature (TG). In addition, how the TG will affect the strength of the cured material, and explain where to find the correct curing temperatures for a given material
The participants shall:
Share their understanding of:
a. how curing at elevated temperature will affect the glass transition temperature (TG)
b. how the TG will affect the strength of the cured material, and explain where to find the correct curing temperatures for a given material
