Abstract
A method of bonding metallic structures to thermoplastic composite structures is described. Various construction details have been developed which provide a method for producing a bond of sufficient strength to transmit rotational and axial loads between the metallic and thermoplastic composite structures. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of knurling a mating surface of the metallic structure, coating the mating surface with a thermoplastic material to produce a bonding surface, and consolidating the bonding surface to the thermoplastic composite structure.
