Plastic joining is the method of joining semi-finished products of plastic materials together or to other materials as a fabrication process or damage repair. Joining methods can be classified into three categories: Mechanical fastening, Adhesive bonding, Welding.
Implant induction welding is a joining method used in plastic manufacturing. The welding process uses an induction coil to excite and heat electromagnetically susceptible material at the joint interface and melt the thermoplastic. The susceptible material can be contained in a gasket placed between the welding surface, or within the actual ...
Mechanical vibration with frequency between 10 and 70 kHz and amplitude of 10 to 250 μm is applied to joining parts. After ultrasonic energy is turned off, the parts remain in contact under pressure for some time while the melt layer cools down creating a weld. [2] Different join designs and process controls are used in ultrasonic welding.
Plastic is the generic name for a family of synthetic materials derived from petrochemicals. It is often product of two or more components. It is often product of two or more components. There are many families of plastics and polymers being used in construction industry, such as acrylics , composites , expanded polystyrene , polycarbonates ...
Common variants of conventional hot plate welding include high-temperature and non-contact versions. Both of these variants help with the problem of material sticking to the hot plate between weld cycles; the stuck material can degrade and transfer to subsequent welds, resulting in poor quality and aesthetically unappealing welds.
Because of the consistency of the electrofusion welding process in creating strong joints, it is commonly employed for the construction and repair of gas-carrying pipelines. [2] The development of the joint strength is affected by several process parameters, and a consistent joining procedure is necessary for the creation of strong joints.
This past June, Jaime was eager to show how the worksite had improved since the year before, explaining how he and the other workers clock in and out by tapping ID cards on a screen, a new ...
Advantages of this process are fast cycle times (on the order of a few seconds), automation, repeatability, and good weld appearance. Only plastics which have dipoles can be heated using radio waves and therefore not all plastics are able to be welded using this process. Also, this process is not well suited for thick or overly complex joints.
