Friction welding of thin wall armlene components

ABSTRACT

Calculations were carried out to determine the friction welding conditions for thin wall armlene (mineral-filled polypropylene) components. Design studies and the preparation of a prototype of the experimental system for this process are described. The system is tested in the manufacture of gas mask boxes. It is concluded that this technology can be used for the entire range of thin wall armlene components.
