Abstract

Carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (TPCs) attracted significant attentions from the aerospace, transportation, and defense industries, due to their high specific stiffness and specific strength, outstanding thermal stability and good damage resistance, etc. As the demand of TPCs significantly increased for aerospace applications, the development of advanced joining technologies for TPC components becomes critical to ensure the structural integrity of aviation structures. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the historical development and recent advancements in welding technologies for TPCs, including ultrasonic welding, induction welding, resistance welding, and laser welding. Special emphasis is placed on ultrasonic welding due to its growing prominence in the field. The characteristics of various types of welding technologies for TPCs have been systematically discussed. Simultaneously, the strengths of the TPC joints manufactured by different welding technologies have been summarized and compared. The future development trend and research focuses for the welding technologies of TPC components are also proposed.

期刊介绍： Composites Part B: Engineering is a journal that publishes impactful research of high quality on composite materials. This research is supported by fundamental mechanics and materials science and engineering approaches. The targeted research can cover a wide range of length scales, ranging from nano to micro and meso, and even to the full product and structure level. The journal specifically focuses on engineering applications that involve high performance composites. These applications can range from low volume and high cost to high volume and low cost composite development. The main goal of the journal is to provide a platform for the prompt publication of original and high quality research. The emphasis is on design, development, modeling, validation, and manufacturing of engineering details and concepts. The journal welcomes both basic research papers and proposals for review articles. Authors are encouraged to address challenges across various application areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, aerospace, automotive, and other surface transportation. The journal also covers energy-related applications, with a focus on renewable energy. Other application areas include infrastructure, off-shore and maritime projects, health care technology, and recreational products.
