| Abstract: |
Mechanical interlocking is a powerful approach for creating adhesion between metal and thermoplastic polymer. For this purpose, various self-adhering thermal spray coatings are investigated in this study. The molten thermoplastic polymer itself is used as adhesive, as it infiltrates the micro roughness features of the coating and interlocks with them. Nickel, steel and copper based coating systems are first assessed by their microstructural characteristics. Afterwards, the polymer/coated metal hybrids are joined by induction heating. Finally, the hybrid specimens are tested by tensile lap shear tests to evaluate their interfacial properties.
