Foreword
When the first lasers were fabricated in the 60’s, the industrial life turned its interests in them shortly. Nowadays it is obvious, the minds, who invented this technology, not only have a great past, but also gave many great solutions among a series of applications and theories. The tendency growth is faster by the year, but all the needs remained the same: more powerful, cheaper, faster, more reliable, more productive, cost-efficient, and last but not least, fail safe. These concepts permeate the minds of developer engineers’ minds worldwide.
Back in 2017 I met polymer laser welding application at the first time, and suddenly realized, there is only a few literature exist in this specific area. I faced a lot of unanswered questions, and decided to explain these in my own way. The first answers generated many other questions, and at a certain time period I realized the necessity to summarize all the collected knowledge in a book, which the dear reader is now holding.
During the collection of the different topics I focused on the essence, so I skipped many well-known theses that are already in many other books. This book is not basic in its subject matter, deeper mathematical knowledge is necessary for understanding. There is also no explanation of the lasers’ particle physics description, I expect the reader to know it. All my calculations are stated as end of pipe
procedures, just focusing on the technological problems that engineers in the shop floor can face day by bay. I did this in the spirit of making a book available to future engineers to develop their own optimization strategy.
At this point I have to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to my life partner, Bea, who had incredible patience for the night-taking calculations and often the weekends of book-writing. I am especially thankful for her the aid and inspiration of making the cover of this book.
1. Procedural Sequence and Preliminary Inputs
Polymer laser welding is a material unifying procedure, where the unifying energy is provided by external heat of a laser beam, and there is no additional material which would serve as bonding agent. Understanding the production sequence of laser welding is essential at the beginning. The sequence has fundamentally two important aspects:
Operation elements order
Thermodynamic stages of the core procedure
In the industrial applications, the operation sequence is similar among all the different layouts, as can be seen in Fig.1.
Fig. 1.
The above mentioned sequence has mainly two critical points, with their unique side-effects related to the final quality of the product, defined in the next chapters.
On the other hand, at this point it is necessary to understand the thermodynamic behavior of the same process as shown in Fig. 2.
Fig.2.
This aspect is reduced to focusing only the circumstances of the welding itself. Every polymer has a specific softening temperature range, and easily available in most cases, but focusing this temperature is not sufficient, thus the polymers are very far from the Newtonian-fluids, so the diffusion, to flow component’s materials into each other is hindered. To balance this negative effect, the parts are pressed to each other with a relatively high force by the clamping system. To know deeper this effect, it is necessary to understand the molecular structure of the given polymer, and also taken into account in the molding process design in the preforms. This topic is out of the scope of this paper.
The welding procedure is sensitive to the accuracy and repeatability of positioning. The widespread construction technique is to create a datum of the positioning, generating zero point of a relative Descartes-coordinate system. From this point, the location of this point is independent from the process; it can be given on the selected face of the product itself, or the opposite: the positioning system moves the pre-assembly to this face.
