The Crazy Brilliance of Radio Frequency Welding When it comes to welding plastics, three contributing factors matter: heat, force, and duration. While there are multiple ways of controlling and applying each of these, the heating method defines the welding process: Welding Process Heating Method Vibration Surface Friction (linear) Spin Surface Friction (rotational) Hot Plate Conductive […]
Read MoreSo I’m not what you would call a handy person around the house and I generally pass on home projects unless forced to act. In fact I pretty much epitomize the quote “If a man says he will fix it he will. There is no need to remind him every six months about it.” I […]
Read MoreLightweighting is a process of replacing a material with another to reduce weight while maintaining performance. Automotive reduces weight to improve fuel efficiency primarily since the payload itself is fairly constant. Aerospace uses lightweigting to increase payload and range. In that respect, the advantage of lightweighting for heavy manufacturing is closer to that for the […]
