Predicting the Durability of Welded Joints of Thermoplastic Films,

Abstract

The investigations were conducted on films of crystalline low density polyethylene (PE n.p.) and amorphous polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The durability of welded joints was determined on a special device, at a temperature of from 20-70C. The tests were conducted in a regime of constant stress on the test object, which was in the form of a belt with a width of 10 mm. The conditions of the experiment varied in such a way that the durability changed by 5-6 orders of magnitude. Equations were devised by which mechanical durability could be predicted.
