| Abstract Scope |
In order to incorporate the advantage of each material and complement for each drawback, the friction stir welding of metallic and non-metallic materials is one of the important next targets. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) have been widely used in the fields of engineering and industries due to their outstanding characteristics such as high specific strength. In this study, the friction stir welding of Ti alloys and CFRP (polyamide 6 with 20 wt.% carbon fiber) was investigated to solve the dimensional problem and simultaneously suppress the welding defects formation by the applied pressure from the tool and the easy control of the welding temperature. Before welding, a surface treatment was performed on the Ti surface using a silane coupling agent. The welding parameters including the tool rotation speed were optimized in order to achieve a sound dissimilar joint of Ti and CFRP. |
