In this paper a composite prepreg manufactured using a relatively new high performance PAEK (polyaryletherketone) polymer from Victrex will be described, which offers out of autoclave (OoA) processing at lower temperatures than Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) whilst displaying excellent consolidation with minimal voids and good mechanical properties.

Coriolis Composites and Victrex teamed up to design an Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) process to unlock the potential of VICTREX AE™ 250 UDT. The results showed a significant increase in lay-up speed was possible whilst achieving industry acceptable levels of porosity (<2%) for in-situ consolidation. OoA consolidation showed the potential to reduce the cycle time and energy consumption.

Using extensive testing evidence, this paper highlights the potential benefits of using VICTREX XPI™ PEEK insulation in a higher voltage electrical machine when compared with a standard enamel.
