Laser transmission welding of transparent plastics parts in micro technology
Most welding processes for plastics do not meet the special demands of micro technology. Laser transmission welding, however, features distinctive advantages like low mechanical and thermal load of the joining parts. Hence it is particularly suitable for the welding of micro plastics parts. Certain optical properties of the components to be welded are needed though. While one of the welding par...
متن کاملLaser Welding of Fabrics Using Infrared Absorbing Dyes by P A Hilton and I A Jones, TWI, Cambridge, UK
A technique has been developed for laser welding plastics with infrared dye, creating a joint almost invisible to the human eye. Typically carbon black would be used as the absorbing medium for the laser light, however, this new approach enables two similar clear (or coloured) plastics to be joined with a minimal mark weld line. The process can also be applied to polymer based fabrics, where he...
متن کاملHot Pin Welding of Thin Poly(vinyl chloride) Sheet
This paper develops a method of welding two thin sheets of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) with a heated pin, thus allowing construction of a relationship between the weld temperature and weld strength. Constructing a relationship between weld strength and temperature is necessary for modeling many welding processes, including laser transmission welding. An experimental approach to establishing this...

متن کاملNanostructurization and thermal properties of polyethylenes’ welds
As it is known, polyethylene (PE) is one of the common materials in the modern world, and PE products take the major share on industrial and trade markets. For example, various types of technical PE like PE-63, PE-80, and PE-100 have wide industrial applications, i.e., in construction, for pipeline systems etc. A rapid development of plastics industry outstrips detailed investigation of welding...
