Abstract

A formation method is provided during which a honeycomb core, a thermoplastic film and a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic skin are arranged in a stack with the thermoplastic film between the honeycomb core and the fiber-reinforced thermoplastic skin. The thermoplastic film comprises a thermoplastic material. A metal conductor is arranged on the stack with the fiber-reinforced thermoplastic skin between the thermoplastic film and the metal conductor. The metal conductor is induction heated to provide a heated metal conductor. The thermoplastic film is conduction heated through the fiber-reinforced thermoplastic skin using the heated metal conductor to melt the thermoplastic film and bond the fiber-reinforced thermoplastic skin to the honeycomb core with the thermoplastic material.
