This work presents details of manufacturing and testing a carbon fibre polyetheretherketone induction-welded hat-stiffened panel. Mechanical is carried out to evaluate the performance welded assembly results are compared with similar an adhesively bonded The show that panel had load-bearing capacity (<2% difference) stiffness (<1% difference). Optical microscopy used verify weld quality identify artefacts associated induction welding. Inspection after welding shows process caused minor...
Out-of-Autoclave manufacturing methods, specifically Automated Tape Placement (ATP) and induction welding, used in the fabrication of a stiffened thermoplastic demonstrator panel, are presented this study. The panel consists two stiffeners welded to flat skin, form typical load bearing aerospace sub-component. skin is manufactured from uni-directional Carbon Fibre (CF) Polyetheretherkeytone (PEEK) using laser assisted press formed woven CF-PEEK. fusion bonded continuous welding process.
