Abstract
The advantages of magnetic implant induction welding technology for various thermoplastics were widely discussed since the mid-1980s in a series of technical articles and reports. In 1998-2003, we reported to the Society of Automotive Engineers, our technical achievements in optimizing the mechanical performance of welded nylon (6, 66, 6/66, 46, etc.) using frictional (linear and orbital vibration, ultrasonic), contact (hot plate), and noncontact (laser through-transmission) welding technologies. Recent developments in magnetic implant induction welding have focused on optimizing the mechanical performance of joints in reinforced plastics through continuous improvement to the welding technology (including magnetic implant material properties, SPC process control, joint design optimization, etc.). In this study, 33 wt.% fiber-glass reinforced nylon 6 is used in a chain-optimization study to conduct a critical comparison of two alternatives for thermoplastic welding. Results demonstrate interactions between material composition, joint design, and welding process conditions.
