In recent years, for the aim of weight reduction transportation equipment, carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTPs), which have high recyclability and formability, are becoming suitable mass production. Additionally, with development multi-material structures, excellent technologies required joining metals CFRTPs. Presently, adhesive bonding mechanical methods employed dissimilar materia...

In the current microwelding process using femtosecond (fs) laser between dissimilar materials, surface polishing and pressure assistance, so-called optical contact, are believed necessary. this paper, direct welding of soda lime glass Kovar alloy a fs is investigated to overcome limit contact. The processing comprehensively studied by varying power, velocity number welding. shear joining streng...
