Short welding times make spin welding particularly suitable for mass production. This paper presents an analysis of the friction phase, which makes it possible to estimate the influence of the welding parameters and the material being welded on the temperature in the welded zone, the melt rate, and the torque in the spin welding of semicrystalline thermoplastics. A comparison of experimental and calculated results shows an acceptable correlation. In addition, the influence of speed, axial pressure, and braking on the weld seam quality of different amorphous and semicrystalline thermoplastics is discussed. 相似文献
It is still not clear why the long‐term properties of plastic weld seams can only be differentiated by the very expensive medium tensile creep tests. One hypothesis for justifying this is based on the change in the structure of the weld seam surroundings, another cites the consumption of antioxidants and the following ageing in the weld seam area to be responsible for this. Butt‐welded weld seams made of poly(propylene) were systematically produced under different process parameters. Corresponding to the particular hypothesis, these weld seams were then analyzed in various ways to find correlations or to prove one of the hypotheses. Regarding their short‐term weld seam quality, the analyzed weld seams could not be differentiated through short‐term tensile or short‐term bend test. However, the medium tensile creep tests showed significant differences in both time until failure and long‐term weld seam quality. Under long‐term loading, the start of the brittle crack could be detected in most weld seams in the fine spherulite‐zone or between this zone and the area of the flow lines. This demonstrated again that only long‐term tests are suitable for examining different weld seam qualities. Depending on the welding parameters, times until failure decline with increasing heated‐tool temperature and heating time. Though these parameters lead to a higher consumption of antioxidants in the weld seam, a degradation was not detected in the breaking area. In fact, increasing heated‐tool temperatures and heating times, as well as higher joining pressures lead to a change in the internal structure of the material. This can be seen in morphological structure analyses in the larger bend of the entire weld seam area. A larger bend, however, correlates with higher residual stresses in the weld seam. In the medium tensile creep tests, these residual stresses as well as the tensile stress in the border region and the compressive stress in the middle are superimposed by the tensile stress resulting from the test stress. Thus a greater bend of the weld seam area and higher residual stresses in the weld seam itself lead to shorter times until failure in medium tensile creep tests.

Oven-dry dowels, insertion of hot dowels, cross-cut dowels, substrate holes of step-decreasing diameter as a function of depth, use of ethylene glycol or other compounds able to decrease the glass transition temperature of wood components have all been shown to contribute to improving weld joint strengths in a variety of less drastic conditions than the 10 mm/8 mm dowel/substrate hole diameter difference. The results show that once the depth of the dowel is much greater than 15 mm, then almost all the conditions used improve the weld strength. This means that the proportion of area welded in relation to the tensile strength of the dowel itself is a determining factor. The greater this area the higher the strength, irrespective of the application conditions used. Thus, over a certain welded area the dowel breaks when tested in tensile, i.e., the joint is stronger than the dowel. Temperatures > 180°C are reached during the quick welding step with the temperature decreasing in less than 1 min to 60–70°C. The same chemical reactions as occurring in vibrational welding have been shown by solid-state 13C-NMR analysis to also occur in dowel rotation welding. In dowel rotation welding the production of carbohydrate-derived furanic aldehydes is higher (a) from the wood material of the substrate in which the hole is pre-drilled rather than from the material of the wood dowel itself, (b) when the weld joint strength is good, and (c) when the rate of dowel insertion is higher. 相似文献
A numerical model to simulate the temperature behaviour of wood welding samples during the welding process was developed to understand the influence of material parameters on the welding temperature. A finite element method and the CAST3M software were used to simulate and model the temperature changes during welding of beech wood. This model takes into account the different properties of the wood welded bondline, the geometry of the sample and the external conditions. The energy produced by the friction welding of the wood samples was determined from infrared thermography measurements for the welding process and inputted into the model. The comparison between the predicted and experimental results shows that the model is reliable. The applied pressure, the vibration, the extrusion of material and the chemical reactions, particularly exothermic reactions, are not taken into account in this model and thus probably explain the differences existing between actual and simulated values. However, this numerical simulation gives information on the distribution of the temperature in the sample. The model predicted that the temperature difference between the centre and the side of the sample is not higher than 4°C. This means that the border effects are negligible. The model was tested for different welding times. According to the model a heat flow about 70 kW/m2 is necessary at the welding line to ensure a satisfactory bonding for the chosen sample geometry. Welding of large wood pieces has also been simulated in this study. 相似文献
Materials and welding in the production of thick-walled pressure vessels for elevated operating temperature made of steels containing 2 to 3% of chromium and ca. 1% of molybdenum . High-temperature steels containing 2 to 3% of chromium and ca. 1% of molybdenum are resistant to hydrogen under pressure at temperatures up to about 500°C. Being readily weldable, they are excellently suited for high pressure equipment in chemical plant construction. Their tendency to embrittlement at operating temperatures of 400 to 500°C is a drawback. However, specific metallurgical measures adopted during the production of the semifinished material and the welding materials, and use of optimized welding techniques and heat treatment keep this embrittlement within limits. The article reports recent experiences gained in producing pressure vessels with welding seam thicknesses of up to 230 mm at the authors company. 相似文献
Laser-sintering offers the possibility to produce complex and individualized components cost-effectively. To fully exploit the advantages of laser-sintering in assemblies with mass-produced components, high-performance joining processes like welding are necessary. Thus, a cost-effective customization of products can be enabled, which allows to follow the increasing trend of individualization. Infrared welding, in particular, can also be suitable for complex laser-sintered parts due to the reduced transverse forces during joining, compared to other welding processes. The investigations show that high strength between PA12 laser-sintered and injection-molded components can be achieved by infrared welding. The bond strength is mainly influenced by the welding parameters. Especially a low weld pressure leads to high achievable strengths and failure outside the weld seam. Joints between laser-sintered parts and glass fiber reinforced injection-molded components demonstrate the transferability of the obtained knowledge. The residual melt layer thickness of the joint decreases with increasing weld pressure, as the morphological characterization shows. Besides, the typical morphological seam structure can be seen on the side of the injection-molded component. In the area of the laser-sintered components, a deviating morphological structure can be observed. Distinctive flow lines can be observed, spherulitic structures can only partially be seen as well as deformed spherulites. 相似文献
In vibration welding of thermoplastics, frictional work done by vibrating two parts under pressure, along their common interface, is used to generate heat to effect a weld. Past work on welding characterized the effects of weld parameters such as the weld frequency, the weld pressure, and the weld time, on the welding process and weld strength, and showed that the most important parameter affecting weld strength Is the weld penetration—the decrease in the distance between the parts being welded that is caused by lateral outflow of material in the molten film. However, those weld studies were based on specimens of constant nominal thickness (6.35 mm, 0.25 in). This paper is concerned with the effects of specimen thickness on the weld process and weld strength. 相似文献
The article demonstrates a principle possibility of the electron-beam welding of high-temperature quartz glasses by a plasma electron source operating in the forevacuum range of pressure of 10–50?Pa. We studied the dependence of the composition of the gas atmosphere in the vacuum chamber on the heating temperature of the weld seam. It is shown that the optimal temperature of the weld seam for melting and minimum mass entrainment from the molten pool is 1300–1400?°C. We determined the welding regime for cylindrical tubes and rods that provides high seam strength, reaching 90–95% of the original strength of quartz glass. 相似文献
Linear friction welding of wood is a bonding process applied to wood and during which a stiff bond line is formed by the softening and rehardening of wood components to form a composite material composed mainly of wood fibres embedded in a modified lignin matrix. Unfortunately, the bonds tend to spontaneously delaminate or lose their strength when exposed to moist conditions. Some approaches were previously applied to overcome this problem, but so far a suitable solution has not been found. This paper presents results of applying post-welding thermal modification to reduce the moisture sensitivity of welded wood. The experiments included welding of birch wood, thermal modification under superheated steam at atmospheric pressure, internal bond (IB) and tensile-shear strength testing and soaking tests. As supposed, the non-modified reference specimens performed poorly after the seven days soaking test (on average 0.33 MPa IB strength), whereas the thermally modified specimens yielded almost the same IB strength in dry and wet condition (on average e.g. 1.15 and 0.93 MPa, respectively). Such a similar load bearing capacity in very different moisture conditions was previously reported only in the case of paduk wood. Similar to the reduction of IB strength occurred during the soaking test, also delamination was observed more clearly in non-modified reference specimens (e.g. 4 vs. 0 total delaminations after seven days soaking). Therefore, the authors suggest that post-welding thermal modification could provide a suitable bond-stabilisation method against moisture, although the process parameters must be optimised in further research, for instance, to ensure scalability. 相似文献
Strength of welded joints is a function of technological parameters of the production process. The type of function is dependent on the welding mechanism. Different mechanisms were found under various welding conditions. The processes included in the plastic welding mechanism are divided into two groups:
1) Processes which realize the joining of the parts.
2) Processes which create conditions for the first group to proceed. The first series of processes includes:
a) diffusion of macroradicals, molecular segments or molecules of the polymer which can be either in a solid, melted or dissolved state.
b) convective mass transfer.
c) recombination of macroradicals across the contact surface.
d) physical (surface) interaction.
e) any combination of processes described above.
The second group contains:
a) formation of the real contact surface.
b) formation of the macroradicals.
c) destruction and removal of inert layers which prevent real contact of active material.
Each process and the conditions of its proceeding are discussed individually. 相似文献
In vibration welding of thermoplastics, frictional heat generated by vibrating two parts under pressure, along their common interface, is used to effect welds. In the normal, well-understood mode, the vibratory motion is along the weld seam, which is at right angles to the thickness direction for straight boundaries. But in many applications, such as in the welding of closed seams of box-like parts, this vibratory motion occurs in the part-thickness direction, so that a portion of the molten layer along the seam is exposed to the ambient air during each vibratory cycle. The resulting reduction in temperature can affect weld quality. The process phenomenology and the weld strengths of such cross-thickness vibration-welded butt joints are investigated for four neat resins. Weld amplitudes and weld pressures are shown to affect the strengths of 120-Hz welds differently. It is shown that strengths on the order of the strengths of the neat resins can be achieved in 250-Hz butt welds. 相似文献
