| Abstract Scope |
Lightweight hybrid structures consisting of fibre reinforced polymers and metallic alloys may be achieved by additive manufacturing which offers increased design freedom and novel joining potential of the hybrid partners. This study investigates FDM (Fuse Deposition Modelling) printing of continuous fibre reinforced polymer directly onto selectively laser melted (SLM) AlMg10Si parts as a way of combining the fabrication and joining steps to produce lightweight structures without the need for fasteners or adhesives. Relying mostly on the mechanical interlocking between the materials, the joint is highly sensitive to the metallic surface conditions and the properties of the polymer matrix. The influence of the SLM AlMg10Si surface conditions, namely surface temperatures, roughness, and chemical functionalisation, during the polymer deposition process on the joint strength is presented and the underlying bonding mechanisms are discussed. |
