TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of the friction spot joining technique on magnesium AZ31-O/glass fiber and carbon fiber reinforced poly(phenylene sulfide) joints is addressed, and a preliminary investigation has successfully shown that friction spot joins is an alternative technology for producing hybrid polymer-metal structures.
Abstract: In the present study, the feasibility of the friction spot joining technique on magnesium AZ31–O/glass fiber and carbon fiber reinforced poly(phenylene sulfide) joints is addressed. The thermo-mechanical phenomena associated with the friction spot joining process promoted metallurgical and polymer physical–chemical transformations. These effects resulted in grain refinement by dynamic recrystallization and changes in local (microhardness) and global strength (lap shear). Friction spot lap joints with elevated mechanical performance (20–28 MPa) were produced without surface pre-treatment. This preliminary investigation has successfully shown that friction spot joining is an alternative technology for producing hybrid polymer–metal structures.

TL;DR: Evidence found shows that the level of environmental management maturity influences the depth with which companies adopt environmental criteria when selecting suppliers, and a company with more advanced environmental management adopts more formal procedures for selecting environmentally appropriate suppliers than others.
Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to verify if Brazilian companies are adopting environmental requirements in the supplier selection process. Further, this paper intends to analyze whether there is a relation between the level of environmental management maturity and the inclusion of environmental criteria in the companies' selection of suppliers. Design/methodology/approach - A review of mainstream literature on environmental management, traditional criteria in the supplier selection process and the incorporation of environmental requirements in this context. The empirical study's strategy is based on five Brazilian case studies with industrial companies. Face-to-face interviews and informal conversations are to be held, explanations made by e-mail with representatives from the purchasing, environmental management, logistics and other areas, and observation and the collection of company documents are also employed. Findings - Based on the cases, it is concluded that companies still use traditional criteria to select suppliers, such as quality and cost, and do not adopt environmental requirements in the supplier selection process in a uniform manner. Evidence found shows that the level of environmental management maturity influences the depth with which companies adopt environmental criteria when selecting suppliers. Thus, a company with more advanced environmental management adopts more formal procedures for selecting environmentally appropriate suppliers than others. Originality/value - This is the first known study to verify if Brazilian companies are adopting environmental requirements in the supplier selection process. © 2009 Emerald Group Publishing Limited.
