Is Plastic Welding for Car Bumpers Strong?
1 Answers
Plastic welding for car bumpers results in a very strong bond. However, the welding must be done on the inner side of the bumper, not the outer surface, because the plastic welding rod cannot be polished after welding. Plastic welding refers to a joining method where the contact surfaces of two plastic parts are simultaneously melted using heat, allowing them to fuse into a single piece. This method is only suitable for connecting thermoplastic materials. Plastic welding can be completed with or without a welding rod, but the requirements differ. When using a welding rod, the ends to be welded need to be shaped into specific forms (such as U-shape, X-shape, etc.), and then the rod is melted to fill the seam, bonding the two parts together. Without a welding rod, the welding surfaces need to be heated until molten, and then vertical pressure is applied until they fuse tightly into one piece.
