How does it work? A simple explanation is offered% s2 P: o( }7 z* |0 G
here, based on the author’s own experience. The6 s4 m7 ?3 X5 J2 f# d' }: p
modification reduces the molecular weight of the polymer,

is to cut a microtensile bar specimen in such a way* m( ?# r9 E- F3 ?
that the weld line would fall near its center (Fig. 16.5).

and time. Optimal combinations of these three pa$ c0 y, B4 B0 x% r

Little pressure is required to weld the parts after reaching

, `/ A; Y+ n: {3 Jvariable of the process, is dependent on the size and
* |- }5 b& i* ~shape of the part. The actual weld time, defined as2 F. V/ B7 k4 S5 U
time at the final temperature, is of the order of 1–2- O3 L$ y. f* }/ O! `
minutes. It often takes a great deal longer to heat up
