The curing time of epoxy resin is an important phenomenon in the production of
metal-layered composites. In this study, the heating time of the mold and epoxy resin
was investigated by performing numerical analysis based on time to reduce the curing
time. The most consistent mesh structure was chosen among five different mesh
numbers in terms of the difference between temperature results. 10 different cases
were created to examine different heater powers and different operating patterns. The
results were examined by creating a temperature-time graph and contours showing
the temperature distribution. As the number of cartridges and heater power increase,
higher temperatures are reached in a shorter time. Even with the same heater power,
different operating patterns can lead to differences in results in terms of temperature.
The different operating pattern was seen as an independent parameter in heater power
for obtaining a homogeneous temperature distribution.
