Abstract In order to discuss the problems involved in the joining of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite materials with aluminum alloys that is required for the production of several parts in aerospace, automotive, and other engineering applications, a comprehensive review of the research status of this dissimilar joint alloys both in China and abroad is made. The overview mainly includes adhesive bonding, mechanical fastening, welding, and new joining techniques, as well as residual stress and corrosion performance of the joints. The current problems, development prospects, and future research direction of different joining technologies used in this field have been discussed. It is believed that the numerical simulation combined with the welding test can be used to further study the joining process of friction stir welding between carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite materials and aluminum alloys and the hybrid joining method of friction stir welding and adhesion.

1 Introduction With the rapid development of the aerospace and automotive industries, lightweight structural materials have received widespread attention. Carbon-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics/ polymer (CFRTP/CFRP) are lightweight structural composites formed by melting and impregnating extremely fine carbon fibers (approximately 0.005–0.01 mm in diameter) in a thermoplastic polymer matrix. Due to its high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and dimensional stability, excellent design freedom, and processing performance, it is the lightweight structural material with most development potential and application value in the aerospace and new energy

automotive fields [1–3]. The expensive engineering plastics and light metal materials (aluminum, magnesium alloys) both can be partially replaced by CFRP. For example, the original DNose composed of 5 sections of aluminum alloy is replaced by J-Nose which is manufactured by Ten Cate advanced composites in the Netherlands using carbon fiber-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (CF-PPS) and glass fiber-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (GF-PPS), which reduces the weight of the new aircraft A340–500/600 by 20% compared with the old ai
