PLASTIC WELDING

Image result for plastic welding diagram
  • Thermoplastics can be welded using similar principles to those for welding metals, in that the application of heat is used to fuse a filler rod to the components being joined. A powerful heat gun is used to provide the heat necessary to melt material. An attachment ensures that is softens the components and the filler rod at the point where it is to be joined.
  • This method of joining plastics is particularly applicable to producing one-off products such as containers from thermoplastic sheets and for the repair of damaged products where the inclusion of a filler rod will not be detrimental to its function.
