Induction Welding
Uses an electromagnetic field to heat conductive materials within the plastics, causing them to weld - Applied in joining composite materials.
Friction Stir Welding
Mechanically intermixes the two pieces at the place of the joint, then cures the plastic - Utilized for thermoplastics and automotive parts.
High Frequency Welding
Utilizes high-frequency electromagnetic waves to heat and weld polar plastic materials - Often used for PVC and polyurethane films.
Laser Welding
Fuses plastics by focusing a laser beam to melt the join interface - Ensures high precision and is used in medical devices.
Hot Plate Welding
Melts the plastic parts' mating surfaces using a hot plate before joining - Ideal for larger and irregularly shaped components.
Solvent Welding
Uses solvent to dissolve and fuse polymers - Commonly applied in PVC piping systems.
Ultrasonic Welding
Joins plastics through high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to generate heat - Common in the automotive and electronics industries.
Spin Welding
Joins circular thermoplastic parts by spinning one part against the other to generate frictional heat - Suitable for containers and valves.
