Thermal Efficiency in Laser-Assisted Joining of Polymer–Metal Composites

Heat conduction joining is mainly used in laser-based joining of metals with polymers but results in a large amount of dissipated heat. The consideration of thermal efficiency allows the determination of power actually used for creating the joint, which is highly relevant for technical and economic...
