Plastic Welding: Methods, Advantages, and Practical Steps

Plastic welding combines two or more thermoplastic materials by applying heat, pressure, or both to create a solid and durable bond. Unlike metal welding, which typically requires the melting and fusing of similar metals, plastic welding involves melting the surfaces of the plastic materials and pressing them together to form a solid bond once cooled. This technique applies in numerous industries, from automotive and aerospace to medical and consumer products.
