Polymers, polymeric composites, and polymer–metal structures are being increasingly employed in several products mainly because of the associated weight savings. Mechanical fastening is one of the main joining methods for polymer and polymeric composites along with adhesive bonding and welding. On the ...
This thesis is a literature review analyzing various materials that has been published on various joining methods for metal to polymer hybrid joints on the feasibility and eventual realization of the joint between these dissimilar materials. This study is aimed at theoretically evaluating the feasibility...

Hence, suitable joining methods are necessary, in order to reliably join these dissimilar materials and to integrate them in engineering structures. Understanding of the various joining technologies that exist for multi-material, metal-to-metal, polymer-to-polymer, and metal-to-polymer hybrid ...
Ultrasonic welding and hot plate welding are two prominent methods for joining polymers together. This technique is a speedier procedure that doesn't need any preheating, while hot plate welding takes longer because the materials have to be heated up beforehand. ...
Other joining methods can have drawbacks. Adhesives, for example, have much longer setup and processing times and can cause contamination, especially at the micro level where many of these devices are operating. Ultrasonic welding can offer significant advantages for assembly of surgical instruments ...
Hence this study reviews traditional joining methods for joining aluminum alloys, including welding, soldering, and mechanical fastening. It also discusses advanced joining technologies like Laser Beam Welding (LBW), Friction Stir Welding (FSW), Ultrasonic Welding (USW), and Adhesive Bonding. LBW ...
Compliance 35 Health and Safety Information 35 For More Information 36 Notes 3 4 MECHANICAL FASTENING Mechanical fasteners — screws, bolts and rivets — offer one of the least expensive, most reliable and commonly used joining methods for assemblies that must be taken apart a limited number of ...
For this reason, it is critical that the methods and processes and procedures for joining evolve at least as fast as the available materials and application demands. This has historically not been the case. Therefore, the state of joining both traditional and advanced materials for advanced ...
