Friction Welding of Polymer–Metal Hybrid Structures Enabled by Optimised Fused Filament Fabrication Processing

Listing Description

Result description

A process-tailored Fused Filament Fabrication route was developed for PEKK-Carbon Fibre (CF) and PA-CF composites to enable friction-weldable structures without geometric distortion. By optimising printing parameters, the process yields components that maintain dimensional stability and preserve interfacial conformity under friction-induced thermal and mechanical loads, ensuring reliable weld performance.

Radical Innovation Breakthrough

Addressing target audiences and expressing needs

Our needs are
  • Technology Transfer Expertise
  • I/we wish to transfer my/our IPR to an interested party
  • Business plan development
We specifically need / are looking for

We are looking to for possible applications in products that need to join together thermoplastic and aluminum components to achieve lightweight and thermal management.

Target audiences
  • Other Actors who can help us fulfil our market potential
  • Research and Technology Organisations
  • Academia/ Universities

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects

Current stage description

Currently we have demonstrated that thermoplastic reinforced with short carbon fibers can be welded to aluminum via friction stir welding achieving repeatable bonding results on simple geometries. The next steps include the trying the process on more complicated geometries that can be used in multi-material products for lightweight and thermal management.

Replicability

The process relies on the use of commercial equipment for fused filament fabrication and friction stir welding. Both technologies are accessible to many people.
