The need of hybrid joints especially for joints between light metals and CFRP-composites is strongly increased in the last years. Ultrasonic metal welding is one promising technology to join aluminum alloys to carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). These hybrid joints can be realized by thermal softening and mechanical replacing the polymer out of the welding zone as a result of the ultrasonic shear oscillation. This allows a direct contact between the aluminum and the carbon fibers. Due to the electrical conductivity of the carbon fibers and the realized metal/fiber contact it is possible to use the hybrid joints as their own fatigue damage sensor and to describe the actual fatigue state of the welds. Additionally to standard experimental data, the change in the electrical resistivity can be monitored during the fatigue tests. Load-increase as well as constant amplitude tests of ultrasonically welded aluminum/CFRP-joints will be presented and discussed.
