English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
DEF

A welding involving localized melting without the application of force and with or without the addition of filler metal [Definition standardized by ISO].

CONT

Nearly all industrial welding involves fusion. The edges or surfaces to be welded are brought to the molten state. The liquid metal bridges the gap between the parts. After the source of welding heat has been removed, the liquid solidifies, thus joining or welding the parts together. In the past, there were three principal sources of heat for fusion welding: electric arc, electric resistance and flame.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
  • Packaging in Plastic
CONT

Extrusion (or fusion) welding is used exclusively on high density polyethylene. It is a direct parallel of metallurgical welding in that a ribbon of molten polymer (instead of metal) is extruded between the two surfaces to be joined. The electrode causes some of the sheet material to be liquefied and the entire mass then fuses together.

French

Domaine(s)
