Abstract

This chapter provides information on the ultrasonic welding that is used for joining plastic parts. The parts are placed together and high frequency vibration and pressure are exerted at the joint, which melts the plastic and to cause a weld. This joint can be as strong as the plastic itself. This method usually cycles within less than two seconds. Because of the glass fibers, glass reinforced Zytel (GRZ) may need more weld area than unreinforced Zytel. Also, when joining any nylon with this method, the plastic should be dry as molded since moisture degrades weld strength.
