The effect of temperature on the lap shear strength (LSS) and failure mechanisms ultrasonically welded carbon fibre reinforced polyphenylene sulphide (CF/PPS) joints was investigated, correlating weld performance to crystallinity degree PPS at weldline. single-lap tests were carried out temperatures ranging from –50 °C 120 three series, one with amorphous two semi-crystalline overall trend decreasing LSS increasing largest reduction observed above glass transition temperature.

The use of high performance thermoplastic composites (TPCs) in the aviation industry has increased over last years. TPCs have significant advantages such as superior damage tolerance, excellent chemical resistance and ability to be welded. To date, mechanical fastening, primarily, adhesive bonding are two traditional joining methods used industry. However, welding attracted attention due its advantageous qualities very short cycle times minimised stress concentrations. Most research...
