text: 'Thermoplastic composites (TPCs) are predestined for use in lightweight structures,
especially for high-volume applications. In many cases, joining is a key factor
for the successful application of TPCs in multi-material systems. Many joining
processes for this material group are based on warm forming the joining zone.
This results in a change of the local material structure characterised by modified
fibre paths, as well as varying fibre contents, which significantly influences
the load-bearing behaviour. During the forming process, many different phenomena
occur simultaneously at different scales. In this paper, the deformation modes
and flow mechanisms of TPCs during forming described in the literature are first
analysed. Based on this, three different joining processes are investigated: embedding
of inserts, moulding of contour joints, and hotclinching. In order to identify
the phenomena occurring in each process and to describe the characteristic resulting
material structure in the joining zones, micrographs as well as computed tomography
(CT) analyses are performed for both individual process stages and final joining
zones.'
