Polymer composites have certain advantages over metals in terms of mechanical as well as
metallurgical properties. These can be joined with similar as well as dissimilar polymer …

Friction spot joining is an alternative technique to produce metal-composite overlap joints.
The main process parameters are tool rotational speed, plunge depth, joining time and …

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a very useful variant of the conventional friction stir
welding (FSW), which shows great potential to be a replacement of single‐point joining …

In the last decade, the friction stir welding of polymers has been increasingly investigated by
the means of more and more sophisticated approaches. Since the early studies, which were …

In the present study, the mechanical behaviour of polymer–metal hybrid connections
produced by clinching is investigated. Thin sheets were joined using different tools including …

By the increasing development in applications of engineering plastics, demand for rapid and
reliable welding methods has been increased. One of these joining methods of engineering …
