This recommended practice describes the materials, related equipment, and particular processing techniques utilized in process science curing of composite hardware where pressure is imparted specifically to the resin of curing composites. Included as Appendix "A" to this ARP is a discussion of the particular techniques developed for a processing science philosophy which has consistently produced void and porosity-free, large area, thick composite structures.
This recommended practice describes the physical and chemical characterization techniques for identification of epoxy adhesive and prepreg resin systems in order to verify the chemical formulation, resin B-staging (See 8.1), cure reaction rates, adhesive moisture content, and resin component mix ratios, as necessary to achieve manufacturing and quality producibility and engineering performance.
This specification and its supplementary detail specifications cover interleaf carrier materials in the form of polyethylene film or coated paper tape or sheeting.
This specification establishes the requirements for a nominal 250 °F cure epoxy preimpregnated carbon fiber plain weave fabric product. The prepreg is a plain weave fabric with 12K tows, a nominal fiber areal weight of 193 gsm, and nominal resin content of 42%.
The intent of this specification is for the procurement of the material listed on the QPL and, therefore, no qualification or equivalency threshold values are provided. Users that intend to conduct a new material qualification or equivalency program shall refer to the Quality Assurance section of the base specification, AMS3961. All material qualification and equivalency data has been archived and is available for review upon request. Contact the CMH-17 Secretariat (www.cmh17.org) for additional information.

This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) describes the processing system and techniques for the surface preparation and priming of aluminum alloy parts for structural adhesive bonding to achieve optimum bondline durability, corrosion resistance, and manufacturing producibility. While this surface preparation has been developed and validated for two high strength aluminum alloys, 2024 and 7075, in the hardened condition it is expected to be applicable to other alloys and tempers. This surface preparation system has been validated for use with 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) and with 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) curing elastomer-modified epoxy adhesive and corrosion-inhibiting primer. The processes described herein are the result of laboratory evaluation of structural and durability performance.
This specification covers continuous, multiple-strand, roving of Type "S-2" glass impregnated with a heat-curable epoxy resin matrix and processed to a "B" stage condition.
This specification covers one type of quartz cloth impregnated with a heat-reactive, thermosetting, polyimide resin system, the resin being processed to a "B" stage condition, and furnished in continuous rolls of full width material.
