The main purpose of this study is to investigate usability of resistance welding joining method for poly (aryletherketone) (PAEK) thermoplastic matrix/carbon fiber (CF) reinforced composite laminates (PAEK/CF). For this purpose, effects of six different Interlayer Forms having different stainless steel meshes as Heating Elements and different woven glass fiber forms as Insulating Layers were studied. After determining welding parameters for each specimen group, performance of the resistance welding operations was compared by ultrasonic inspection, microscopic examination, DSC analyses, and by three different interlaminar mechanical tests. Analyses and tests generally revealed that use of stainless steel meshes as Heating Elements could supply proper amperage level for the heating, melting and crystallization stages of the PAEK matrix during welding consolidation. Depending on the lay-up configuration of Interlayer Forms, “amperage levels” determined for the heating, melting dwell and crystallization dwell were in the ranges of 46–100 A, 40–90 A and 25–50 A, respectively, It was also observed that in order to prevent Current Leakage problem to the other layers in the composite laminate, rather thicker and heavier woven glass fiber forms as Insulating Layers should be used. Otherwise, not only voids could form in the thermoplastic matrix, but also delamination might occur in the upper or lower PAEK/CF composite laminates being welded. When thicker and heavier insulating layer was used; interlaminar mechanical properties of Single Lap Shear Strength, Fracture Toughness under Mode-I and Mode-II were determined as high as 36.77 MPa, 3.76 kJ/m 2 and 4.71 kJ/m 2 , respectively.
