Issue Highlights:
Anvil-Free Ultrasonic Welding for Welding Situations With Accessibility From One Side Only
Because of the good automation capacity and the simple process management, ultrasonic welding is being utilised in series production to an increasing extent. Conventionally, the procedure is carried out in a standardised...
Process Optimisation of the Joining Phase in Heated Tool Welding of High-Wall-Thickness Polyethylene
Heated tool welding has been successfully used for decades to join semi-finished polyethylene products. Increasingly, large pipes with high wall thickness are being used for the expansion of infrastructure for sustainabl...
Analysis of Welded Joints by Using Novel Nanoscale IR Spectroscopy
Welding is a common joining method in plastics processing in which the macromolecules of the joining partners form a material bond across the interface. There are various models which try to explain the effective mechani...
