Joining Analysis of Polypropylene Parts in Rotary Friction Welding Process and Developing of Joints Profile

Various welding methods are used to produce non-detachable joints of plastic parts. These friction (FW), friction-stir (FSW), ultrasonic welding, chemical bonding, and hot plate welding. Rotary (RFW) method, which is one the FW methods, generally in joining filter parts water treatment devices. After RFW processes, semi-melted accumulations tend occur on interior surfaces In some cases, particles broken off from these can often clog sensitive filters. this study, it aimed develop a joint profile design that be confine agglomeration formed For purpose, analyzed/simulated utilizing ABAQUS program by using Lagrangian CEL (Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian) their thermal analysis, stress, energy data evaluated. The analysis repeated until optimal structure developed. As result analyses, was determined maximum temperature reached 166.2 °C, there 1.98 mm shortening length product after 150 °C 13.1 milliseconds. From several designs proposed, N3 accommodates semi-melt raw material better than others.
