A method of bonding together at least two members of structural material at least one of which is a fibre reinforced thermoformable composite material comprising assembling a plurality of electrically conductive elements between two surfaces of bodies of the structural materials, the elements extending beyond the surfaces of the bodies to provide means for passing a current through the elements pressing the assembly together to provide positive contact between the elements and the bodies, passing a current through the conductive elements to melt the polymer of the surface regions of the thermoformable composite body, characterised in that the heating and pression operation is conducted whilst at least these portions of the elements extending from between the bodies are immersed in a heat conductive liquid. |
