At present, a group consisting of Science Research Laboratory, Applied Poleramics and Northrop-Grumman is developing resins, tape and electron gun technology for in-situ curing of Automated Tape Placement (ATP) composites. This article presents mechanical and thermal properties for composite panels fabricated using a simulated in-situ electron beam (EB) cure process, with comparison to panels cured in a single step EB process. Design tradeoffs for in-situ EB curing systems are presented. Furthermore, a description is given on how the choice of processing geometry affects the design.
