CompositesWorld
has announced that the latest installment in its annual
Tech Days online event series
will be focused on the bonding and welding of composites materials. The event is scheduled to take place in early April 2025.
CW
’s Tech Days are designed to offer informational presentations from industry experts spanning the entire composites supply chain.
CW
Tech Days: Bonding and Welding offers an in-depth exploration of the latest technologies and best practices for working with composite materials, including carbon fiber. This online event is designed for engineers, designers, manufacturers and industry professionals who specialize in or are interested in the development and assembly of high-performance composite parts.
Bonding and welding are essential processes in the assembly and manufacturing of composite materials, providing reliable methods for joining components. Bonding uses adhesives or bonding agents to create robust connections between composite parts or between composites and other materials. These adhesives help distribute stress evenly, resulting in lightweight, durable structures. Conversely, welding methods such as ultrasonic and induction welding are specifically used for thermoplastic composites. These techniques involve applying heat to melt and fuse the materials, forming strong joints.
CW
Tech Days: Bonding and Welding will feature presentations from industry experts providing valuable insights into the unique challenges and innovative solutions in the joining and assembly of composite structures. Presentations will include insights into advanced bonding techniques and welding processes tailored for composite materials.

Call for abstracts
Material and equipment suppliers, along with industry experts interested in presenting at the Bonding and Welding Tech Days event in April 2025 are invited to submit abstracts to
press@compositesworld.com
. Please reference “
CW
Bonding and Welding Tech Days” in the subject line. Abstracts should be approximately 150 words and clearly explain the topics to be presented, including a list of technologies, processes or strategies that will be addressed.
All submitted abstracts will be considered for inclusion in the event agenda.
The deadline for consideration is Feb. 3, 2025.
ABSTRACTS are evaluated and considered according to the technical and educational value they bring to the global composites industry. In order to bring the most value to our audience, we will avoid content that is highly commercial or does not clearly relate to trends and/or new developments in bonding and welding.
