Influence of interface fine structure on joining strength of CFRTP/Al-alloy

To clarify the influence of fine structure of metal surface on joining strength between carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRTP) and metal, CFRTP and Al with the nanometer scale (Type Nano) or the micrometer scale dimple (Type Micro) were joined by hot pressing, and joining strength was evaluated by single-lap tensile shear test and cross-lap tensile test. Additionally, to verify the influence of joining temperature on joining strength, joining...
