Abstract
With the continuous induction welding process, a joining technology is developed at the Institut fur Verbundwerkstoffe (IVW) GmbH, that is suitable in particular for the fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) market, and is distinguished by great flexibility, small investments and good mechanical quality. To increase the process reliability a process modelling was carried out so that optimum process parameters can be predicted and the manufacturing of quality secured welds is granted. A comparison between different joining techniques show that high quality welded joints can be manufactured by the continuous induction welding process.Keywords
