  • Publication number: 20200156326
    Abstract: Induction welding process for welding two parts using at least one susceptor including discontinuous conductive elements, and assembly of at least two parts obtained using the induction welding process. An induction welding process can join at least first and second parts, and the process can include a step of positioning at least one susceptor, including discontinuous conductive elements, between the first and second contact faces of the first and second parts, and steps of holding the first and second parts pressed against each other and of producing an electromagnetic field to generate an induced current that engenders heating of the susceptor. An assembly of two parts can be obtained using the process.

  • Patent number: 9770892
    Abstract: A device comprising at least one pressure generation unit and a heating unit, the heating unit comprising a two-sided inductor and being configured to generate a uniform alternating magnetic field in an assembly comprising two parts made of composite materials comprising carbon fibers embedded in a resin and a field absorber. The field absorber is configured to absorb the magnetic field and comprising a ferromagnetic material. The field absorber is arranged at the contact walls of the two parts, so as to heat them to at least a transformation temperature of the resin.
