Composite metal foams (CMFs) are intriguing materials, offering several big advantages over traditional solid metal. And while the welding of CMFs usually poses some challenges, it has now been been ...

IS Groupe worked with STELIA Aerospace to induction weld a thermoplastic composite helicopter fuselage/tailboom using its dynamic induction welding process in the ARCHES BOX TP project. SOURCE | IS ...

For over 30 years, Sinergo has developed special electromagnetic induction machines. In the last 10 years, the focus has been on the technique of heating composite materials by means of ...

Composite metal foams (CMFs) are foams that consist of hollow, metallic spheres – made of materials such as stainless steel or titanium – embedded in a metallic matrix made of steel, titanium, ...

Components for the aerospace or transportation industry are typical applications for fibre-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composites. These components often require the production of large, complex ...

Plastics are long chains of specific polymers. The use of plastics has grown significantly owing to their high strength, high stiffness, high formability, and lightweight. Additionally, the most ...

Researchers have identified a welding technique that can be used to join composite metal foam (CMF) components together without impairing the properties that make CMF desirable. CMFs hold promise for ...
