ADVANCES IN RESISTANCE WELDING OF ADVANCED POLYMER MATRIX COMPOSITES

Abstract

Abstract: Due to the superior strength- and stiffness-to-weight ratios and high fatigue resistance, polymer matrix composites are widely used in various industrial fields,fusion bonding technology of polymer matrix composites have been a focus of the research. This paper presents an extensive overview of resistance welding of polymer matrix composites, discusses the process parameters which affect welding process and the temperature distribution. Finally, the paper reviews the realization of resistance welding of thermosetting resin matrix composites and establishment of FEM for resistance welding of polymer matrix composites, and expectations on the future development of resistance welding are put forward.

Key words: polymer matrix composites, fusion bonding, resistance welding, FEM model
