Method for joining a
metal element (11) and a resin element (12), wherein a
thermoplastic resin (50) is placed between the
metal element (11) and the resin element (12), wherein the resin element is a thermo-cured resin element (12), wherein the thermo-cured resin of the thermo-cured resin element is not melted by heat, and The process is implemented by
friction stir welding, in which the
metal element (11) and the thermo-cured resin element (12), with the
thermoplastic resin (50) placed between them, are stacked on top of each other, a rotating rotary tool (16) is pressed against the metal element (11) to generate frictional heat, thereby
softening and melting the
thermoplastic resin (50), and then the molten thermoplastic resin (50) solidifies to join the metal element (11) and the thermo-cured resin element (12). including
friction stir welding: a first step of stacking the metal element (11) and the thermo-cured resin element (12) on top of each other with the thermoplastic resin (50) in between; and a second step of pressing the rotating tool (16) against the metal element (11) to generate frictional heat, thereby
softening and melting the thermoplastic resin (50), and solidifying the molten thermoplastic resin to join the metal element (11) and the resin element (12) together, characterized by that the second step comprises an immersion / stirring process of immersing the rotary tool (16) into the metal element (11) to a depth close to an interface (13) between the metal element (11) and the thermoplastic resin (50), but not reaching it, wherein the second step comprises a preheating process of rotating the rotary tool (16), wherein only a front end of the rotary tool (16) is in contact with the surface of the metal element (11), wherein the preheating process is carried out before the immersion / stirring process, wherein during the preheating process the rotary tool (16) may only rotate under a first pressure for a first pressing time, and During the immersion / stirring process, the rotary tool (16) may only rotate for a second pressing time, which is shorter than the first pressing time, under a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure. wherein the thermoplastic resin (50) placed between the metal element (11) and the thermosetting resin element (12) has a thickness greater than 50 µm and less than or equal to 600 µm, preferably from 100 µm to 550 µm, wherein the
melting point Tm (°C) of the
thermoplastic polymer is 140-350°C, in particular 140-300°C, and wherein the connection temperature, which is the highest temperature of the region (112) located directly below it at an interface between the thermoplastic resin (50) and the resin element (12), is Tm - 50°C to Tm + 150°C, wherein acid-modified
polyolefin, thermoplastic
epoxy polymer,
polyamide or
vinyl acetate-containing
polymer is used as the thermoplastic resin and When using acid-modified
polyolefin as a thermoplastic resin (50), the joining temperature Tm to Tm + 150°C, suitable Tm + 20°C to Tm + 130°C, far more suitable T + 70°C to Tm + 120°C, When using a thermoplastic
epoxy polymer as the thermoplastic resin (50), the joining temperature Tm - 50°C to Tm + 30°C is suitable, Tm - 10°C to Tm + 20°C, When using
polyamide as a thermoplastic resin (50), the joining temperature is Tm + 10°C to Tm + 70°C, suitable Tm + 20°C to Tm + 60°C and When using a
vinyl acetate-containing polymer as a thermoplastic resin (50), the joining temperature Tm is to Tm + 80°C.
