Magnetic Pulse Hybrid Joining of Polymer Composites to Metals

To lighten their vehicles, car manufacturers are inclined to substitute steel structures with aluminum alloys or composites parts. They are then faced with the constraints inherent to dissimilar (galvanized steel/aluminum) or hybrid (metal/composite) assemblies. Recent developments in magnetic pulse...

description To lighten their vehicles, car manufacturers are inclined to substitute steel structures with aluminum alloys or composites parts. They are then faced with the constraints inherent to dissimilar (galvanized steel/aluminum) or hybrid (metal/composite) assemblies. Recent developments in magnetic pulse welding seems to offer a viable route. Very fast, this process can be robotized and generates a very localized heating system which limits the formation of intermetallic and damage the composite. Low energy consumption, without filler metal or smoke it is recognized as an environmentally friendly process. In this paper, electromagnetic pulse welding is exploited to assemble polymer composite to metals. Two techniques, a metallic insert in polymer composite or an external patch, have been tested with possible design considerations.
