Induction welding

From GAWDAwiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Induction welding is a process in which fusion is produced by heat obtained from resistance of the work to the flow of induced electric current, with or without the application of pressure.[1]

Induction welding relies on a radio frequency generator and an inductance coil to deliver electromagnetic energy to the joint interface. It does so with the help of conductive thermoplastic compounds placed within the joint. Highly filled with ferromagnetic materials and formulated for compatibility with the mating part, these susceptor compounds absorb the electromagnetic energy from the work coil.[2]
