Abstract Hybrid components composed of CFRTP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Polymer) and TC4 titanium alloy are increasingly applied in the aerospace field. The scanning mode has a significant influence on the quality of laser joining joint between CFRTP and TC4 titanium alloy. Therefore, the laser joining between TC4 titanium alloy with surface microgrooves and CFRTP has been implemented under oscillating laser joining mode and linear laser joining mode respectively in the present research. The temperature distribution is qualitatively explored based on the established mathematical model of laser joining between CFRTP and TC4 titanium alloy. The interface morphology and the joining strength of CFRTP/TC4 titanium alloy lap joints under oscillating laser joining and linear laser joining are compared. The results indicate that the simulated temperature distribution shows good agreement with the experimental result. Compared with linear laser joining, the oscillating laser joining weakens the heat concentration and creates a heating zone with larger area and more uniform temperature distribution. The interface morphology of laser joining CFRTP/TC4 titanium alloy joints with better resin filling and fewer bubble defects is obtained by oscillating laser joining due to the temperature variation of the form of unequal amplitude oscillations, whereas there are a large number of large-size bubbles in the filling resin and small-sized fusion gaps distributed at the interface with the linear laser scanning mode. By adopting the joining method with oscillating laser scanning mode, higher quality joints can be obtained.

In the brazing joint between titanium alloy and stainless steel, a lot of Fe-Ti intermetallic compounds (IMCs) can be easily formed to make joints crack. A lap resistance brazing process with metal powder layers on both sides of the filler metal was used to solve this problem. The microstructure and metallurgical behavior of joints was studied through comparative experiments. The result showed that Nb, V and Cr powders and the solder reacted with the base material to form a new phase, which replaced the Ti-Fe brittle phase in the joint. At the same time, metal powder clusters hindered the diffusion of Ti and Fe elements and improved the distribution of new phases. The established atomic reaction model revealed the metallurgical behavior and formation mechanism of the joints. Therefore, the intervening position of the metal powder layer and the multi-reaction zone structure are the main reasons the shear strength of joints is improved.

Joints and interfaces are one of the key aspects of the design and production of composite structures. This paper investigates the effect of adhesive–adherend interface morphology on the mechanical behavior of wavy-lap joints with the aim to improve the mechanical performance. Intentional deviation from a flat joint plane was introduced in different bond angles (0°, 60°, 90° and 120°) and the joints were subjected to a quasi-static tensile load. Comparisons were made regarding the mechanical behavior of the conventional flat joint and the wavy joints. The visible failure modes that occurred within each of the joint configurations was also highlighted and explained. Load vs. displacement graphs were produced and compared, as well as the failure modes discussed both visually and qualitatively. It was observed that distinct interface morphologies result in variation in the load–displacement curve and damage types. The wavy-lap joints experience a considerably higher displacement due to the additional bending in the joint area, and the initial damage starts occurring at a higher displacement. However, the load level had its maximum value for the single-lap joints. Our findings provide insight for the development of different interface morphology angle variation to optimize the joints behavior, which is widely observed in some biological systems to improve their performance.

In order to investigate the temperature distribution and cracking risk of concrete in winter under the combined action of heating zone and air layer, the analytical calculation method of early age concrete temperature field of concrete component under the combined action of self-limiting temperature band, cement hydration and air layer was established by taking concrete prism with self-limiting temperature band as an example. The model is applied to calculate and analyze the temperature distribution of concrete under different boundary conditions and different additional thermal field modes. The results show that: Under the conditions of internal layout, surface layout and thermal insulation layer outside the formwork, all components reach the critical strength after heating and curing for three days, which indicates that the heating band can provide temperature conditions for concrete curing in winter. Comparing the temperature field of different layout positions of heating belt, the uniformity of temperature field of heating belt outside the formwork is better than the other two layout methods.
