Abstract

The demand for metal-polymer joining technology have been increasing, especially in the industrial fields of automotive and aerospace, which require the manufacturing of various lightweight parts. Conventional joining processes have technical hurdles on aspects such as thermal degradation, need for chemical surface treatment, or complicated process settings. These issues can be alleviated by employing interlocking structures for the metal-polymer joined interface. In this study, we joined 3D-printed metal and polymer parts, which were featured with 3D-printed interlocking structures at their interface. By using high frequency induction heating, the joined region could be locally heated to reduce the thermal degradation and distortion of polymer parts. In addition, through the adjustment of interface morphologies and compression conditions, the polymer flow could be optimized to completely fill the interlocking grooves on metal parts, thereby achieving high joining strength. This suggests feasible guidelines for manufacturing metal-polymer joined structures involving 3D-printed architectures.
