Abstract: Plain glass fiber/MC nylon composite material has the advantages of high specific strength, corrosion resistance and recyclability. It is one of the materials worthy of attention in the field of automobile in the future. In this paper, the effects of lap mode and fusion depth on joint strength of plain glass fiber/MC nylon composites were studied by experimental method under melting bonding process. The experimental results show that, under the same process parameters, the double lap butt joint has the best mechanical properties, and the tensile shear strength of the lap joint increases first and then decreases with the increase of melting depth. When the melting depth of the lap joint is 2 mm, the shear strength reaches the maximum of 19.24 MPa. Micro-CT technique was used to scan the single lap specimens with different melting depths. The results show that the matrix of lap interface gradually decreases with the increase of melting depth. With the increase of melting depth, the failure modes were plastic deformation and cracking of nylon matrix, cracking of nylon matrix and debonding of glass fiber and nylon matrix, debonding of glass fiber and nylon matrix.
