The search for lightweight structures increases the demand for non-metallic materials, such as polymers, composites, and hybrid structures. This work presents the dissimilar joining through direct laser joining between polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and S235 galvanised steel using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The main goal is to determine the influence of processing parameters on joint strength and quality. In addition, the impact of surface conditions on the joint quality was also analysed. Overall, the optimum ranges of process parameters were found, and some are worth highlighting, such as the laser beam diameter and pulse duration, which significantly influenced the joint strength. Failure of the welded samples occurred in PMMA component, demonstrating good joint efficiency. Additionally, a maximum increase of 5.1% of the tensile shear strength was achieved thanks to the mechanical pre-treatment. It is possible to conclude that the joining between PMMA and the S235 galvanised steel can be performed by optimising the process parameters. Additionally, it can be enhanced through surface pre-treatments by exploring the mechanical interlock between both materials.
对轻质结构的研究增加了对非金属材料的需求,如聚合物、复合材料和混合结构。本文介绍了使用脉冲Nd:YAG激光在聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)和S235镀锌钢之间通过直接激光焊接实现异种连接。主要目标是确定工艺参数对接头强度和质量的影响。此外,还分析了表面条件对接头质量的影响。总体而言,找到了工艺参数的最佳范围,其中一些值得强调,如激光束直径和脉冲持续时间,它们对接头强度有显著影响。焊接样品的失效发生在PMMA部件中,表明接头效率良好。此外,由于机械预处理,拉伸剪切强度最大提高了5.1%。可以得出结论,通过优化工艺参数可以实现PMMA与S235镀锌钢之间的连接。此外,通过探索两种材料之间的机械互锁,可通过表面预处理增强连接效果。
