  • Patent number: 5885504
    Abstract: A process for moulding high strength elongated parts made of a fibre-resin composite material, especially turbomachine blades such as fan blades, is disclosed wherein a plurality of heating and cooling elements are arranged within the body of the mould at intervals along the length of the mould cavity, and the liquid resin which is injected at one end into the mould cavity containing the fibre preform is polymerized progressively from the opposite end of the mould cavity, while maintaining the supply of liquid resin under pressure to the cavity, by successively de-activating the cooling elements, which maintain the resin in the liquid state, at predetermined time intervals starting from said opposite end of the mould cavity and progressing in turn towards said one end, and in synchronism therewith successively activating the heating elements to raise the temperature of the resin to the polymerizing temperature progressing in turn from said opposite end to said one end of the mould cavity.
