This paper addresses the major concern which component porosity represents in Vacuum
Infusion (VI) manufacturing due to resin gelation at pressures close to absolute vacuum. Degassing
is a fundamental step to minimize or even avoid resin outgassing and enhance dissolution of voids
created during preform impregnation. The efficacy of different degassing procedures based on
vacuum degassing, and assisted by adding a nucleation medium, High Speed (HS) resin stirring
and/or later pressurization during different time intervals have been analyzed in terms of final void
content is studied. Through a rigorous and careful design of the manufacturing process, outgassing
effects on final void content were isolated from the rest of porosity causes and specimens with
two clearly identifiable regions in terms of porosity were manufactured to facilitate its analysis.
Maximum void content was kept under 4% and porous area size was reduced by 72% with respect to
conventional vacuum degassing when resin was stirred at HS; therefore, highlighting the importance
of enhancing bubble formation during degassing. [-]
