Abstract
Pultrusion is an important process for the manufacture of thermosetting composites profiles of constant cross section. This work has shown experimentally and analytically the advantages of preheating the precursors to increase the line speed. The work was extended to quantify for the first time the duty cycle of a typical process. Heat transfer equations have been formulated to establish the temperature profiles within the heaters and the die and were solved using the implicit finite difference method.
