Principle
 The use of energy, chiefly in the form
of heat, for fusing together the sheet
material.
Types of Plastics
 Thermosetting plastic: Non-weld able

 Thermoplastics : weld able

Weld Joint Design
 Butt weld

 Lap weld

 Edge weld

 Fillet weld

 Corner weld

 Strip weld
Plastic Welding Process
 Heated tool welding

 Hot gas welding

 High frequency welding

 Friction welding

 Extruded filler welding

 Ultrasonic welding
Heated Tool Welding
 It is the process in which heat is applied to the
surfaces to be joined, by means of contact.

 Once the plastic is softened, the heat source is

removed and the components are quickly welded
together under slight pressure until the joint has
cooled.
Hot Gas Welding
 It is a technique which basically consists of using a
stream of hot gas to soften both filler rod and the
parent metal.

 Hot gases are not fuel gases.

 Gases can be heated directly or indirectly.

Extruded Filler Welding
 Filler is in viscous state, which is directly fed to the
joint.
Friction Welding
 The joint is produced as the direct result of friction
heat generated by rubbing two surfaces together.
Ultrasonic Welding
 A process in which ultrasonic vibrations are
transmitted into the plastic and travel until they
meet the surface where one part joins another.

 These vibrations create local heat by mutual friction

on a molecular scale to melt and weld the joining
surfaces to give a permanent bond
High Frequency Production
Welding
 Only those plastics which are imperfect dielectric can be
welded by this process.

 Few electrons which are existing in such plastics give rise to

conduction current, when the metal is placed in the HF field.

 Work done to displace the charge particles are converted into

heat.

 Heat generated is of very high frequency current.

 No filler material is used.
