3. 2. Hybrid Joining of Aluminum to Thermoplastics with Friction Stir Welding

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Wallop Ratanathavorn; [2012]
   Keywords : friction stir welding; hybrid welding;

   Abstract : Hybrid structures including aluminum-thermoplastic and aluminum-reinforced thermoplastic composite are increasingly important in the near future innovations due to its lightweight and high strength-to-weight ratio. A critical point for metal-polymer application is that sound joining of these materials is difficult to achieve owing to a large difference in surface energy and dissimilar structure between metal and polymer.
