Consolidation Mechanisms

  • Chapter
Fusion Bonding of Polymer Composites

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials and Processes ((EMP))

Abstract

In Chapter 3, it was shown how a heat transfer model can successfully be used for predicting temperatures in fusion bonding processes. The temperature predictions were used for the determination of processing windows based on the time required to achieve melting of the welding interface.
