“…Although welding‐based technologies have been investigated to tackle these issues, the adaptation of conventional metal or plastic welding technologies to join hybrid structures it is not a straightforward task, mostly due to the low thermal resistance of the matrix in most polymer composites. Examples of studies in this context are for ultrasonic , induction , resistance , laser welding , and friction spot joining of metal–composite hybrid spot joints.…”

Constant efforts to reduce the structural weight of transportation systems as a solution to control emission levels are currently shaping the way modern cars and airplanes are designed and manufactured. Increased attention has been given to innovative metal–composites multi‐material concepts for the production of lightweight structures. However, the nature of these very dissimilar materials makes their joining a rather complicated task. Recently several technologies have been proposed to overcome process limitation and increase the load transfer between metal and composite in hybrid structures. One of the promising solutions is a new concept known as direct assembling with through‐the‐thickness reinforcements. In this concept, the composite material of a hybrid joint is directly assembled upon a surface‐structured metallic part. Features structured on the metallic part, by a manufacturing phase, act as a through‐the‐thickness reinforcement improving the out‐of‐plane strength and load transfer capabilities of such joints. The current status and state‐of‐art direct assembling technologies are reviewed in this article. Examples of reviewed metal structuring techniques include micromachining, stamping, Surfi‐Sculpt, additive manufacturing, cold metal transfer, and metal injection molding structuring. Direct assembling techniques addressed in this article are vacuum‐assisted resin infusion, resin transfer molding, prepreg/autoclave assembly, and ultrasonic joining. POLYM. ENG.

“…CuCr for the inner elec-Surface-treated Al5052 (a) The joining mechanism is the formation of The co-axially arranged electrode setup, as in Figure 4, has also been used to form metal-polymer spot-welded composite joints, where the electrodes placed on the metal side comprised an outer cylindrical hollow electrode and an inner electrode with DIN EN ISO 5821 F1 geometry [34,36,37]. Current flowed from the inner electrode to the outer electrode, and the metal was heated.…”

“…The eddy current will flow to the steel, heat the steel, and, via conduction, melt the LITECOR ® and form a spot weld joint under the electrode pressure. Variants of RSW that use Joule heating to form spot welds in composite joints involve either a change in the electrode arrangement or the electrode design [34][35][36][37], the use of separate metallic elements at the faying surfaces [43][44][45][46][47][48]53], or the use of additional elements, such as permanent magnets, induction coils, and shunt tools, for heat generation and transfer [50][51][52].…”

“…One-sided RSW is a newly developed process, developed for joining metal-polymer materials in the automotive industries. Coaxial one-sided resistance spot welding has been used for Al-CFRP and lower-carbon steel-thermoplastic PA6 joints [34,36,37,[158][159][160], and there are still prospects for studying other combinations, such as stainless steel-thermoplastic and magnesium-CFRP. Ren et al [159] stated that further studies are required on co-axial electrode material combinations, as only the SUS404-CuCr combination for columns and cylinders has been used in all the reported work on coaxial one-sided resistance spot welding.…”

Traditional resistance spot welding (RSW) has been unsuccessful in forming quality composite joints between steel– or aluminum–polymer-based composites. This has led to the development of spot welding variants such as friction stir spot welding (FFSW), ultrasonic spot welding (USW), and laser spot welding (LSW). The paper reviewed the differences in the bonding mechanisms, spot weld characteristics, and challenges involved in using these spot welding variants. Variants of RSW use series electrode arrangement, co-axial electrodes, metallic inserts, interlayers, or external energy to produce composite joints. FFSW and USW use nanoparticles, interlayers, or energy directors to create composite spot welds. Mechanical interlocking is the common composite joint mechanism for all variants. Each spot welding variant has different sets of weld parameters and distinct spot weld morphologies. FFSW is the most expensive variant but is commonly used for composite spot weld joints. USW has a shorter welding cycle compared to RSW and FFSW but can only be used for small components. LSW is faster than the other variants, but limited work was found on its use in composite spot weld joining. The use of interlayers in FFSW and USW to form composite joints is a potential research area recommended in this review.

Joining dissimilar materials to achieve lightweight design and energy efficiency has been increasingly popular. A joint formed by components of particle-reinforced metal and polymer matrix composite combines the merits of both materials. This paper is mainly focused on the research of the tensile lap shear and impact behavior of the dissimilar single-lap joints (SLJs) between SiCp/AA2124 composite and glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP). The effects of out-of-plane loading applied from different surfaces of SLJs on impact responses are evaluated. Hot pressing technique is introduced to manufacture metal/polymer assembly without using any adhesive. The hole drilling effect is investigated with the idea that it may provide weight reduction and also increase the strength of the dissimilar SLJs. The results indicate that the dissimilar SLJs show more Charpy impact strength when the impact is performed on the metal-matrix composite (MMC). Mechanical properties of SLJs are adversely affected by a drilled hole in the MMC adherend.
