N2 - A novel industrial microwave system HEPHAISTOS-CA2 (High Electromagnetic Power Heating Autoclaveless Injected STructures Oven System) for curing of carbon fibre reinforced plastics is being developed at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK). The system is based on the HEPHAISTOSCA1 prototype system at FZK which has been evaluated for the application in composite manufacturing together with EADS Corporate Research Centre and the Institute of Aircraft Design (University of Stuttgart). The system, which is scheduled to be in duty at the end of 2005 integrates advantageously the basic processing steps as tooling, tempering of the resin and lay up, the impregnation of the fibres, preforming techniques as well as finally the process curing of the composite structures. Composites for aerospace applications in prepreg and wet technology have been successfully fabricated in the CA1 system and investigated for quality and certification issues.
