The glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (GF/PP) composite ring specimens were fabricated based on the composites prepreg tape winding process. The heated winding process was simulated by ANSYS software to obtain the temperature distribution of the wound layer of the specimen. At the same time, the temperature of the wound layer was collected and stored using a temperature-controlled recorder. The temperature fields between the wound layers were found to be different significantly, and the temperature measured through experiments was generally below the simulation results, where it is especially noticeable in the fusion zone. After the recrystallization of GF/PP specimen, the maximum shear strength that the specimen can withstand was improved. The response surface method was used to test and analyze the influence of recrystallization on the mechanical properties of the specimen, Obtain optimized process parameters, heating temperature of 91 °C, pressure of the press roller is 106 N, heating time of 13 min, the highest sample obtained is 28.67Mpa. The experimental results show that the influence of recrystallization parameters on the mechanical properties of the composite specimens (from large to small) are: heating temperature, heating time, and the roller pressure.
