A method of manufacturing a component made of composite material whereby the said component is obtained from a preform containing local reinforcers and a first resin of low viscosity. The method includes: creation of the said preform comprising a first fibrous material and the said local reinforcers being in the form of reinforcers formed of a second fibrous material having fibres of mechanical strength greater than that of the fibres of the first fibrous material, so that they exhibit an elastic modulus or breaking stress at least 30% higher than that of the fibres of the said first fibrous material, the said second fibrous material being pre-impregnated with a thermoplastic, acrylic or polyamide polymer second resin having a glass transition temperature (Tg) above 80° C., the amount of polymer second resin being comprised between 25% and 60% by volume with respect to the total volume of the said second fibrous material.
A process for the manufacture of a part made of composite material, wherein said part is obtained from a preform comprising local reinforcers and a first impregnation resin of low viscosity, of less than 100 Pa·s, for said preform and in that said process comprises the following stages:
A part made of composite material, wherein it comprises a preform impregnated with a first impregnation resin, said preform comprising an assembly of a first fibrous material and of local reinforcers formed of a second fibrous material having fibers with a greater strength than that of the fibers of the first fibrous material, and exhibiting a modulus greater by at least 30% than that of the fibers of said first fibrous material, said second fibrous material being preimpregnated with a second, acrylic or polyamide, thermoplastic polymer resin having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of greater than 80° C., the amount of second polymer resin being between 25% and 60% by volume, with respect to the total volume of said second fibrous material, said preform being impregnated with said first impregnation resin.
