In order to adapt plastics as ideally as possible to their field of application, various additives are added to them. ADDITIVES – They are added to the polymer in small quantities and thus cause a change in the corresponding properties.…
Due to their molecular structure and the associated thermal properties, thermoplastics have a special position among polymer materials. They are both meltable and plastically formable. This behavior enables the welding of two thermoplastic polymers. However, this requires a minimum chemical…
In order to keep defect costs in production low, it is useful to detect defects from pre-production before the welding process so that the corresponding components can be sorted out. In laser welding, by far the most frequent cause of…
Laser welding of plastics is a very robust and reliable process. The causes of defective welds are mostly found in pre-processes along the value chain. Already in the first step, the compounding, the material components and thus the important optical…
The following criteria are specifically relevant for the individual process variants and must be taken into account accordingly when it comes to the design layout of the joining zone. CONTOUR WELDING-TOLERANCES – As no relative movement of the joining partners…
