Characterization of Metal Heating Elements for Resistance Welding of Thermoplastic Matrix Composites (PEEK)

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article describes the analysis of the three types of heating metallic meshes used for the resistance welding process of thermoplastic matrix composites. The analysis of the heating that takes place in the mesh will carry to optimize the process parameters and to assure a correct joint and properties in the whole area.
