This proposal consists of using a low cost formable mandrel material which is capable of easy removal through small openings. These mandrels can be purchased in different alloy forms tailored to withstand the required cure temperatures and pressures associated with graphite/epoxy and graphite/thermoplastic composite fabrication. This proprietary material (standard commercial item) has a coefficient of thermal expansion much more closely matched to graphite composites than does the conventional aluminum or steel mandrels.
