Abstract: Compared with the autoclave curing process, the microwave curing process of composite can reduce the curing time, reduce energy consumption, and have good process controllability. This research proposes a special functional auxiliary structure based on theoretical analysis, which solves the microwave heating problem of multi-directional layered carbon fiber composite. The formation of typical composite rib parts has been achieved through microwave curing technology, further promoting the engineering application of composite microwave curing technology. The research results indicate that the basic mechanical properties of composite rib parts manufactured by microwave curing can meet the requirements of engineering applications. Compared with the autoclave curing process, the microwave curing process can shorten the curing cycle by 59.8% and reduce the energy consumption by 61.5%.
