Issue Highlights:
Weld strengths of sandwich components with glass-fibre-reinforced core components
The weld strengths of fibre-reinforced plastics are substantially below the material strengths.
Structural adhesive bonding of glass-fibre-reinforced thermosetting plastics with optimised joining part materials
While cohesive fractures in the adhesive bonding layer or an adhesive failure between the adhesive and the joining parts generally limit the bonding strengths of...
Welding of laser-sintered PA12 plastic components, Part 2 – Heated tool welding
In a recently concluded research project, the welding behaviour of laser-sintered (LS) plastic components made of Polyamide 12 was investigated at the...
