Effects of ultra-high frequency induction system on the carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites

Abstract

Because of their exceptional features, advanced composites with polymer matrix attract increasing interest in engineering applications recently. Compared to their weight ratio due to the high endurance and hardness values applications of polymer matrixed composites of lightweight, low density, and high performance are popular in military and civil aerospace, automotive, wind power and many other industries. Nowadays, induction heating of the carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites is one of the most important worldwide studies. Due to the importance of accelerating the rate of production from approximately 180-240 minutes to a few minutes, in this study, the weldability of the carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites was investigated. © 2019 MIM Research Group.
