  • Welding of functional components to polymer composite components
    Patent number: 8197624
    Abstract: A method for joining functional components with at least a thermoplastic components to thermosetting composites with at least some thermoplastic surface. The thermosetting composite has a functional thermoplastic surface layer attached by a process of selection of a compatible thermoplastic, heating the combined materials to allow migration of uncured thermosetting polymer into the thermoplastic polymer, then cooling the combined materials to provide a strongly attached thermoplastic surface. The thermosetting composite component may have a polymeric material coating. The present invention subsequently relates to the joining of the functional component and thermosetting polymer composite components, using high-speed oscillating relative displacement or high-speed continuous relative displacement.

  • Heat exchanger and tube therefor
    Publication number: 20030046813
    Abstract: Heat exchanger tube (2), typically for an automotive heat exchanger, includes a core (6), external boundary surface (7) and internal boundary surface (5). The external boundary surface (7) includes zones devoid of material having melting point lower than the melting point of the core (6) and the internal boundary surface (5) includes material having a lower melting point than the core (6). Additionally or alternatively the external boundary surface (7) my include a layer of corrosion protection material and/or cathodic protection material.
