<p>A single stage method for forming and joining pre-consolidated sheets (15, 16, 19) of fibre-reinforced thermoplastics material each having an adherent polymer layer (23, 24) in those areas that are to be joined comprises locating one of the sheets (15, 16) in a female mould tool cavity (18) which is heated to the fusion bonding temperature of the adherent layers (23, 24). A second sheet (19), located in register with the cavity is heated to its melt temperature and formed to shape by a male mould tool part (20) while simultaneously applying pressure to the areas of the sheets to be joined together to form the component.</p> |
