Connection of two or more components made of fiber reinforced thermoplastic involves stitching though the components after heating

摘要

Components(3,4) are joined to each other by stitching with threads(6). Prior to stitching together both components(3,4) are heated, at least in the area to be stitched(6), preferably by induction or infra-red heating(7). After stitching(5) the heated area is compressed to maintain the original component thickness.
