A method of induction welding a first thermoplastic composite (TPC) to a second thermoplastic composite (TPC) includes inductively heating a weld interface area between the first TPC and the second TPC, and cooling a surface of the first TPC opposite the weld interface area while inductively heating the weld interface area. 本发明涉及使用散热器和/或冷却的感应焊接。一种将第一热塑性复合材料(TPC)感应焊接到第二热塑性复合材料(TPC)的方法包括感应地加热第一TPC和第二TPC之间的焊接界面区域，以及在感应地加热焊接界面区域的同时冷却第一TPC的与焊接界面区域相对的表面。
