Abstract

Interface geometry before join has been an important factor for the welding quality of hot plate welding. In the present work, weld interfaces of six different geometries were studied. Three materials were used in the study: virgin polypropylene, and 20% and 30% glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene composites. After welding, the joint strength of the composites was determined by a tensile tester. Welded 20% glass fiber reinforced polymers were found to exhibit the highest joint strengths. For the parameters selected in the experiments, hot plate temperature, heating time and geometry of weld interface were found to be the principal factors affecting the joint property of hot plate welded composites.
