RESEARCH ON THE INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS ON THE QUALITY OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the main stages of manufacturing composite products on the probability of various defects. Special attention is paid to finding and justifying practical ways to eliminate them at the early stages of the production process. The work is aimed at identifying the relationship between technological parameters, such as temperature, pressure and polymerization time, and the final quality, strength and reliability of the finished product. In addition, the goal is to develop methodological recommendations for manufacturers to minimize defects and increase production efficiency. Research methods. The work uses an analytical method and a detailed consideration of factors that directly affect the quality of composite materials. An analysis of scientific and technical literature was conducted, as well as systematization of production practice data. To detect hidden defects and assess their impact on the structure of the material, modern methods of non-destructive testing were used. This allowed obtaining objective data on the condition of the material without its destruction, which is critically important for preserving the integrity of products. Results. Based on literary data and production practice, attention is paid to the production factors that most affect the quality of manufacturing composite materials and parts made from them. Analysis and comparison of existing non-destructive testing methods to preserve the structure of products, as well as the use of various control methods to detect defects in the complex structure of composite materials, which can ensure high quality of the manufactured products. Practical value. The work examines the factors that affect the quality of the product during its operation, as well as technological factors and methods of their control. For the study, practical work was carried out to determine the influence of technological factors on the quality of the product, and methods for eliminating defects in the manufacturing of the part.
