The subject of improved frictional welding (linear vibration and orbital vibration) methods for thermoplastics has become more important in recent years with the increased use of these materials to replace metals and thermosets in new components for automotive, lawn & garden, and power-tools applications. Technologists performed a series of experiments in an effort to optimize the strength of vibration-welded joints in reinforced nylons. The results presented will help plastic parts designers, material developers, and manufacturers, by giving them alternatives when selecting types of nylon and welding technologies for a wide range of applications.
