Induction welding using a heat sink and/or cooling

A method of induction welding a first thermoplastic composite (TPC) (12) to a second thermoplastic composite (TPC) (14) includes inductively heating (83) a weld interface area (74) between the first TPC (12) and the second TPC (14), and cooling (84) a surface (43) of the first TPC (12) opposite the...
