Issue Highlights:
Thermal riveting of polymer materials - Computer- aided process modeling and comparison with experimental data
In the case of thermal plastics riveting, the application of precise, computer-assisted process simulation does not correspond to the state of the art at present. For this reason, the structural configuration of the join...
Non-destructive testing of the degree of curing with unilateral NMR
Adhesive bonding technology is one of the key technologies of the 21st century. Trends such as e-mobility and lightweight construction will act as a driving force in the future too. At the same time, the quality assuranc...
Laser transmission welding of thermoplastics at longer wavelengths
As far as the laser transmission welding of thermoplastics is concerned, a change from the normally used wavelengths around 1 µm to a longer wavelength around 1.5 µm may reduce any radiation losses which are undesired wi...
