Production of hybrid FRP / steel structures with a new sheet metal connecting element
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Spawalnictwa - Year 2016, Vol 60, Issue 5
Abstract
This article considers the technology of thermal welding of new auxiliary elements for the connection of composite materials and metal components in hybrid structures. As the basis, the iterative adjustment process of optimization penetration into the composite material with the lowest level of material damage is used. Also, in this paper, the main requirements, which appear through the process of the welding element adjustment, are considered from the welding prospective. Various concepts of elements connection will be represented and analyzed. Moreover, the achievement of low energy input in a base material in order to minimize the thermal damage of the composite materials will be showed. Therefore, new approaches in resistance spot welding are required and some of them are represented in this article. Despite the obtained welding joints, the article also represents their mechanical characteristics and welding parameters.
