Abstract

Hybrid parts consisting of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRT) and steel components offer promising potential in lightweight construction. In this approach, the joining operation poses the major challenge due to different physical and chemical properties of both materials. This paper studies a joining method in which conical pin structures, protruding from the surface of the metal component, are inserted into the locally heated CFRT component to create a form fitting joint. The aim is to identify and quantify the influence of the parameters pin height and pin head diameter on the mechanical performance in single lab shear and cross head normal experiments. Based on the results it can be shown, that both an increased pin height and head diameter are beneficial under shear load in means of increased maximum load capacity while under normal load only an increased head diameter has clear benefits. Those effects are led back to the geometrical properties and the resulting stress distributions in the joining area.
