JOINING PLASTICS – FÜGEN VON KUNSTSTOFFEN
The bilingual (German/English) JOINING PLASTICS publication exclusively covers its title subject area. Application-oriented, peer-reviewed technical articles present the latest developments and state-of-the-art for series welding and joining of plastics in pipeline, tank and machinery construction.
Issue 3 (2024)
Issue Highlights:
Welding process strategies for the heated tool welding of high wall thicknesses
Although heated tool welding has been estabished for the joining of semi-finished products made of polyethylene for decades, investigations in the past have been restricted to wall thicknesses up to approx. 20 mm. Howeve...
Machine learning methods for inline quality assurance in heated tool welding
In the research project FloWeld, the established process monitoring of heated tool welding, which includes force, displacement, and temperature sensors, was supplemented by a heat flux sensor that measures the heat flux...
Investigation and optimisation of the mechanical properties of adhesive-bonded joints between additively manufactured plastic components
In the LangKleb project (IGF no. 01IF21578N), investigations were conducted into the optimisation of the mechanical long-time properties of adhesive- bonded joints between additively manufactured plastic components. For...
