PLASTIC WELDING
•Plastic welding is the process of welding plastic parts together.

Heat sealing is one of the primary processes of joining or
welding plastics.
•by The piece of metal to be joined are heated to a
plastic state and forced together external
pressure
(Ex) Resistance welding
Plastic Welding Methods
• Hot Gas
• Speed Tip
• Extrusion
• Contact, Hot Plate
• High Frequency
• Ultrasonic
• Spin
• Laser
• Solvent
Typical Types of Plastic
Welding
• Hot Gas
– Freehand
– Uses hot air to melt plastic
welding rod
• Speed Tip
– Heats and presses molten
weld rod into part
• Extrusion
– Bigger welds, single pass
• Contact
– Like spot welding
• Hot Plate
– Like contact
Other Plastic Welding
Methods
• High frequency
– Only available for use with plastics such as PVC, PA, and
acetates
– Plastic is heated using high frequency electromagnetic
waves and parts are joined
• Ultrasonic
– Similar to high frequency
– Energy concentrated for maximum weld strength
• Spin welding
– One part spun at high velocity. This part is then pressed
against another fixed part with a lot of force.
• Laser
– Wavelengths vary from 808 nm to 980 nm
– Power levels from 1W to 100W needed depending on
material thickness and process speed
• Solvent
– Use solvent to dissolve polymers in both parts to mix
Thermosetting
Thermosetting plastics are plastic compounds that require application
Of heat to set up properly or harden.
Once these materials have set ,further appn of heat does not allow them
to be formed in a controllable manner. Any further heating normally
Results in deformation or structural weakening. It is permanently hardening.
It hardens permanently after one application of heat and presure.
The molecules of thermosetting plastics are heavily cross linked.They form a
Rigid molecular structure.
Ex.
Bakelite,melamine resign,polymer resign,epoxy resign
Thermosetting plastics
Cross-linked molecules
• The molecules of thermosetting plastics are
heavily cross-linked. They form a rigid
molecular structure.
• The molecules in thermoplastics sit end-to-end

and side-by-side.
• Although they soften when heated the first time,

which allows them to be shaped they become
permanently stiff and solid and cannot be
reshaped.
• Thermoplastics remain rigid and non-flexible

even at high temperatures. Polyester resin and
urea formaldehyde are examples of
thermosetting plastics.
THERMOPLASTICS
IT HAS THE PROPERTY OF SOFTENING WHEN HEATED AND HARDENING
AND BECOMING RIGID AGAIN WHEN COOLED.THEMOPLASTIC CAN BE
REMELTED AND COOLED TIME AFTER TIME WITHOUT UNDERGOING ANY
APPRECIABLE CHEMICAL CHANGE.
1.WHEN HEATED MOLECULES MOVE APART WHICH INCREASES THE

DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM,BECOMING UNTANGLED.
THIS ALLOWS TO BECOME SOFT WHEN HEATED SO THAT THEY CAN BE
BENT TO ALL TYPE OF SHPES.
2.THE PROCESS OF HEATING,SHAPING,REHEATING AND REFORMING
CAN BE REPEATED MANY TIMES.
3.THERMOPLASTICS ARE THEREFORE RECYCLABE.
Eg TEFLON,POLYCARBONATE,POLYSTER,POLYETHYLENE,POLYVINYL
CHLORIDE.
Thermoplastics
Long chain molecules
• There are a wide range of
thermoplastics, some that are rigid
and some that are extremely
flexible.
• The molecules of thermoplastics are

in lines or long chains with very
few entanglements. When heat is
applied the molecules move apart,
which increases the distance
between them, causing them to
become untangled. This allows them
to become soft when heated so that
they can be bent into all sorts of
shapes.
• When they are left to cool the

chains of molecules cool, take their
former position and the plastic
becomes stiff and hard again. The
process of heating, shaping,
reheating and reforming can be
repeated many times.
Why use plastics
• Plastic are easily formed materials.
• The advantage to the manufacturer is that plastic products can

be mass-produced and require less skilled staff.
• Plastics require little or no finishing, painting, polishing etc.

Plastic is referred to as a self-finishing material. Particular
finishes can be achieved at relatively low cost.
• Plastics can be easily printed, decorated or painted.
• Plastics are corrosion resistant, and generally waterproof

although certain types of plastics such as UPVC can become
brittle and it is possible for the sun’s rays to cause the colour of
the plastic to fade. It becomes bleached.
• Plastics are lighter than metals, giving deeper sections for

a given weight, and hence stronger sections.
ADVANTAGE OF PLASTICS
1.PLASTICS ARE USED IN PLACE OF GLASS FOR WINDOWS

BECAUSE THEY ARE LIGHT IN WT AND NO REDUCTION IN
CLARITY.
2.RESISTANT TO BREAKING THAN GLASS.
3.POOR CONDUCTOR OF HEAT AND PROVIDES SOME LEVEL

OF THERMAL INSULATION.
