Laser Direct Joining of Steel to Polymethylmethacrylate: The Influence of Process Parameters and Surface Mechanical Pre-Treatment on the Joint Strength and Quality

Laser Direct Joining of Steel to Polymethylmethacrylate: The Influence of Process Parameters and Surface Mechanical Pre-Treatment on the Joint Strength and Quality

The search for lightweight structures increases the demand for non-metallic materials, such as polymers, composites, and hybrid structures. This work presents the dissimilar joining through direct laser joining between polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and S235 galvanised steel using a pulsed Nd:YAG las...
