An apparatus (100) comprising: first and second structural parts (102, 104) that are formed of a rigid material or a semi-rigid material; and a bond comprising a first adhesive (304) and at least one conductive member (502) disposed in a bonding area (306) between the first and second structural parts so as to securely couple the first and second structural parts together. The cure time of the first adhesive is decreased and a strength of the bond is increased during a bonding process by increasing a temperature of the first adhesive using the conductive member having electricity traveling therethrough.

The present disclosure discloses a friction welding structure, wherein the friction welding structure includes a first workpiece and a second workpiece. The first workpiece includes a workpiece body and a first welding structure, and the second workpiece includes a second workpiece body and a second welding structure. Both the first welding structure and the second welding structure are positioned between the first workpiece body and the second workpiece body. The first welding structure has a first lateral mating surface, and the second welding structure has a second lateral mating surface. The first lateral mating surface abuts against and is melt-connected to the second lateral mating surface through relative movement between the first workpiece and the second workpiece. In the friction welding structure of the present disclosure, since the first lateral mating surface and the second lateral mating surface for friction, are parallel to a first direction, a tangential stress is generated between the first lateral mating surface and the second lateral mating surface when the first workpiece and the second workpiece tend to separate from each other, enabling the first workpiece and the second workpiece to be more firmly bonded.
