Influence of process parameters on mechanical performance and bonding area of AA2024/carbon-fiber-reinforced poly(phenylene sulfide) friction spot single lap joints

Abstract

a b s t r a c tThe effects of friction spot joining process parameters on the bonding area and mechanical performance of single lap joints were investigated using full-factorial design of experiments and analysis of variance. On one hand, the main process parameters with significant influence on the bonding area were joining pressure, tool rotational speed and joining time. On the other hand, tool rotational speed and joining pressure displayed the highest influence on the lap shear strength of the joints followed by tool plunge depth, whereas the joining time was not statistically significant. The interaction between the rotational speed and joining time was the only interaction with a significant effect on the mechanical performance. Joints with ultimate lap shear forces varying between 1698 ± 92 N and 2310 ± 155 N were obtained. It was observed that generally a larger bonding area as a result of higher heat input leads to an increased mechanical performance of the joints. The generated regression model by the analysis of variance was used to identify an optimized set of parameters for increasing the lap shear strength of the joints to 2280 ± 88 N. Furthermore, the process temperature was monitored, which varied in the range of 370-474°C.

A review on direct assembly of through‐the‐thickness reinforced metal–polymer composite hybrid structures

“…Although welding‐based technologies have been investigated to tackle these issues, the adaptation of conventional metal or plastic welding technologies to join hybrid structures it is not a straightforward task, mostly due to the low thermal resistance of the matrix in most polymer composites. Examples of studies in this context are for ultrasonic , induction , resistance , laser welding , and friction spot joining of metal–composite hybrid spot joints.…”

Enhancement in Interfacial Adhesion of Ti/Polyetheretherketone by Electrophoretic Deposition of Graphene Oxide

“…Some other methods are also used, such as lithography and microarc oxidation. However, these methods suffer from some new problems such as poor heat and humidity durability, environmental unacceptability, hydrogen embrittlement, and non‐high‐temperature resistance .…”

Mechanical behaviour of polymer–metal hybrid joints produced by clinching using different tools

“…From a mechanical point of view, the achieved results show that hybrid polymer-metal clinched connections have similar shear strength to joints produced by Friction spot joining [14,15,41], friction riveting [8] and injection clinching [16]. Nevertheless, from a production point of view, the clinching process offers several advantages over the above-mentioned ones.…”
