Spot Welding Metal-Plastic Composites

Spot Welding Metal-Plastic Composites

A new resistance spot welding process can join metal-plastic composites
Pawel Kustron Ph.D.
April 7, 2022
Metal-plastic composites (MPCs) have many advantages for producing lightweight structures. They are lighter than steel, yet very strong. They can be shaped using standard cold-forming processes. And, they are less expensive than aluminum alloys.

Ultrasonic Welding of Thermoplastic Composites

Ultrasonic Welding of Thermoplastic Composites

Strong and lightweight, thermoplastic composites can be difficult to join.
Somen K. Bhudolia Ph.D.
September 7, 2021
Manufacturing large, monolithic composite parts, such as a car body or an aircraft fuselage, requires a large and complex mold. As a result, the process can be quite costly. Alternatively, such complex parts can be manufactured less expensively by assembling a series of smaller parts using various joining techniques.
