Method of manufacturing a link rod for aeronautical construction

Abstract

According to this method, plastic welding is used to secure one longitudinal end (11) of a tube (10) made of thermoplastic to a dedicated part (21), made of thermoplastic, of an end piece (20) designed to be joined in an articulated manner to a structural component. According to the invention, the tube is manufactured by extruding thermoplastic in order to obtain a hollow section piece one length of which constitutes the tube and which, at the longitudinal end of the tube, has at least one flat surface (12, 13) parallel to the longitudinal axis (X-X′) of the tube, and in order to perform the plastic welding, the said at least one flat surface of the longitudinal end of the tube is mated against a corresponding flat surface (22, 23) belonging to the dedicated part of the end piece, then the mated flat surfaces are welded together.
