Common reinforcement particles needs to be preheated before incorporationinto the melt. How do i know the right temperature for preheating set aside any literatures
Commonly reinforcement particles are preheated to drive off the moisture and organic impurities. One other reason for preheating to minimize the temperature difference between the melt and reinforcement particles
I feel that the preheating temperature is dependent on the type of reinforcement, its material, its specific heat, thermal diffusivity and specific heat of melt and the thermal conductivity and diffusivity of the melt. There must not be a thermal shock or thermal gradient in the laminate. (one particle cools down rapidly while the other retains heat)
