Structural direct joints between metal and plastic – Influences of the surface structuring on the bonding strength
Within the framework of the presented investigations, it could be shown that the suitable surface structuring of metal substrates on the basis of suitable surface structures leads to structural direct joints between meta...
Analysis of the insertion and overtightening torques of plastic nuts depending on the air humidity
Plastic nuts are already being frequently utilised as auxiliary joining elements in automobile lightweight construction. When these injection- moulded plastic nuts are used, attention must be paid to the ambient conditio...
Influences of the convective heating on the material damage to plastics during hot gas series welding
The effects of the heating parameters during hot gas series welding on the material damage were investigated in this study. Above all, high gas temperatures and long heating times increase the risk of material damage to...
