The CFRP is added to the Aluminium tube by glue (resin). And Aluminium tubes are connected using the inductive heating into one of them, increasing diameter and connecting. Returning to the ambient temperture, tubes become fixed. If a detachable union is nedded, you'll need an isolation film between tubes in order to ensure the temperture diferential when heating the outer one. Jonatan
