Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for sealing the edges of composite fiber components includes applying a thermoplastic semifinished product to a cut edge of a composite fiber component and thermoplastically or integrally joining the thermoplastic semifinished product to the cut edge of the composite fiber component by ultrasonic welding.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for sealing edges of composite fiber-reinforced plastic components, the method comprising: applying a thermoplastic semifinished product, in a form of a thermoplastic semifinished product strip, to a cut edge of a composite fiber component, which is a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic component; and thermoplastically or integrally joining the thermoplastic semifinished product to the cut edge of the composite fiber component by ultrasonic welding, wherein the thermoplastic semifinished product strip and the cut edge of the composite fiber component have a same width. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein applying the thermoplastic semifinished product comprises continuously feeding the thermoplastic semifinished product strip onto the cut edge of the composite fiber component. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic semifinished product strip comprises polyether ketone, polyether ether ketone, polyether ketone ketone, polyphenylene sulfide, polyetherimide, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyarylene ether ketone, or polysulfones. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastically or integrally joining comprises ultrasonic welding using a rotating sonotrode. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastically or integrally joining comprises thermoplastically adhering the thermoplastic semifinished product strip to the cut edge of the composite fiber component.
