Abstract:Fusion bonding is an innovative joining technology which enables connecting load-adapted material combinations, such as metals with thermoplastic polymers or fibre-reinforced polymers. The bonding process is facilitated by inductively or conductively heating the metallic joining partner and pressing it onto the plastic joining partner. Due to heat conduction, the plastic melts and wets the metallic joining partner, so that after a holding and cooling phase a bonding results without applying additional joining … Show more
