Abstract

A new process for forming through-thickness fibers in the joints of carbon-fibre-reinforced thermoplastic laminates by causing discontinuous fibres to flow into the drill holes of a laminate under pressure was developed. The advantage of this method is that it can efficiently form through-thickness fibers using the conventional welding process, with the only additions of holes in the laminates and discontinuous fiber sheets. In this study, the effect of through-thickness fibers formed by the proposed method on the joint strength was investigated via single-lap welding experiments. The areas of improvement and application prospects of the proposed method are discussed in this paper. Thus, this paper presents the first step in developing this method and demonstrates its potential.
