The flow drill joining concept (FDJ) allows the load adjusted joining of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics (FRTP) and metallic sheets without auxiliary joining elements. As there is no scathe done to the fiber reinforcement, a radial realignment of the fibers leads to high-strength joints with high lightweight potential. In terms of their use in automotive lightweight construction, an important requirement for joining technologies is the resistance to temperature loads and chemicals, applied in the production processes, e.g., in vehicle lacquering. Therefore, force flux aligned FDJ-joints were investigated in cross tension and shear testings, after passing through a serial cathodic dip painting (CDP) process. The results show that the CDP-treatment does not adversely affect the quasi-static properties of the tested FDJ-joints, as they resist shear loads up to 2900 N and cross tension loads of about 1100 N, both, before and after the lacquering process.
