HELACS project aims to develop a dual methodology of controlled integral dismantling, to enable the classification, recycling and reuse of aircraft parts made of thermosetting and thermoplastic composite materials.

This September has been a milestone within the HELACS project, thanks to the celebration of the Summer Course face-to-face session that took place at Teruel’s Airport.

The course organized by Aitiip Centro Tecnológico together with the University of Zaragoza on recycling technologies is now available.

Ultrasonic sound can be used to weld thermoplastic materials. During this process high frequency vibrations are locally applied under pressure to the thermoplastic materials by means of a sonotrode and this creates a solid weld.

Induction heating is a fast method to heat metals or other electrically conductive material. It is also effective to weld fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites.

JEC World is the leading international composites show, organized in Paris every year, where the whole value chain of the composite materials industry gathers. It offers a unique showcase of what composites can offer to various application sectors, like aerospace and automotive.
