This article proposes the use of magnetic induction for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) welding. The conducted mechanical and structural studies confirm the high efficiency of the method of welding ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and its composite using magnetic induction with a ferromagnet in the form of a steel mesh. The chosen optimal welding mode allows obtaining a high-quality weld. It has been established that the preservation of the strength properties of the weld at the selected welding mode at the bulk level of UHMWPE is due to the controlled local heating of the material in the welding zone and increased adhesion at the UHMWPE-metal mesh interface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
