According to foreign media reports, researchers at the Technical University of Graz (TU Graz) in Austria used 3D printing technology and ultrasonic joining technology to successfully join renewable wood raw materials with metal and polymer composite materials, forming a strong connection.
This renewable wood raw material is environmentally friendly, light and strong, and has significant appeal in the automotive manufacturing field.
One of the challenges, however, is how to firmly join wood to other vehicle materials, such as metals and polymer composites.
, Tightly joining of wood and metal (Photo source: Graz University of Technology), a research team led by Sergio Amancio at the Institute of Materials Science, Joining and Forming at Ratz University of Technology (including Sergio Amancio, Sergio Amancio, and Willian Carvalho) has successfully tested these two techniques that achieve firm joining without the need for adhesives or screws.
Patented applications for this technology in the wood field are being applied, and it is also applicable to the aerospace, automotive and furniture industries.
, The combination of joining technology and additive manufacturing technology allows wood to replace unsustainable materials.
These two new manufacturing technologies are each suitable for specific application areas.
In addition, the researchers also used beech, oak, carbon fiber reinforced polyamide and polyphenylene sulfide, as well as 316L stainless steel and Ti-64 alloy as test materials.
