Abstract

A process for manufacturing pre-cured parts of composite material with green-applied stiffeners, comprising the lamination of superimposed pre-impregnated composite material sheets to obtain a base part (1) and a second part (2) intended to be bonded with it; curing the base part (1); hot forming the laminate destined to form the second part (2); removing the second part (2) from the forming tool thereof and deposit it over the base part (1), intercalating a structural adhesive sheet between both of them; closing the assembly of both parts inside a vacuum bag and loading said bag in an autoclave, carrying out a curing cycle of the second part (2) under pressure and temperature, so that it is strongly adhered to the base part (1). The invention is applicable to the field of aeronautics.
