Publication number: 20180104865Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fiber-reinforced thermoset composite includes pulling a first portion of a continuous material comprised of reinforcement fibers which are impregnated with a heat curable thermosetting resin through a die. The first portion in the die is subjected to a field of electromagnetic microwaves to heat the first portion to at least a curing temperature of the thermosetting resin. A second portion of the continuous material is pulled through the die. The field of electromagnetic microwaves is reduced in the die such that the second portion is not heated to the curing temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Inventors: Hermann HANSEN, Stephane RINGENBACH, Julien RICHETON
