Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022248315A1] The invention relates to a heating apparatus (1) for performing localised thermal activation of a predetermined zone (Z) of a thermoplastic polymer matrix composite part (P), comprising: - a heating device (2) with infrared emitter(s) (6), - a mask (3) comprising at least one perforated zone (4), the mask (3) being arranged relative to the composite part (P) without contacting said part and so as to at least partially superimpose said at least one perforated zone (4) with said predetermined zone (Z), the mask (3) being positioned between the composite part (P) and the heating device (2), - an element (5) for controlling the heating device (2), the apparatus (1) being configured to allow localised thermal activation of said predetermined zone (Z) through said mask (3) at a temperature at least equal to the melting temperature of the thermoplastic polymer and also to preserve the other zones (Za) of the composite part (P) from its deconsolidation temperature.
