To analyze the temperature signal in correlation to the progress of gap-bridging, T-joint samples with predefined gaps are welded. The set-path is measured synchronously. Additionally, the temperature distribution and the influence of the thermal expansion of the polymers are studied by a thermo-mechanical FEM-process simulation. On top of that, the melt blow-out of the welded samples is analyzed using μCT-measurements. The experiments have shown that closing of a gap can be identified reliably by the temperature signal and that the squeezed melt flow into the gap and the thermal expansion in the gap zone accelerates gap-bridging.

Thermoplastic polymers under tensile load often show a brittle behavior coupled with softening. Simulating such materials is quite difficult for FEM programs. In this case a finite element study of the tensile test in LS-DYNA and ANSYS Wb 14 with respect to the material models was analysed.

By using a pyrometer, coaxially integrated into a 3D-scanner, gaps between the joining partners can be allocated on basis of the measured temperature. However, the scattering of the heat radiation, especially caused by the fiber reinforcement of the plastics, leads to a reduction of the accessible heat radiation, which makes the identification of gaps considerably more difficult. The herein used experimental setup is characterized by a small detection spot and only by a slight weakening of the heat radiation inside the scanner. Hence, for welding PA6-GF30, the detection of small sized gaps is possible, even if a glass fiber content of 30 percent (wt.) and a weld seam width with approximately 1 mm are given.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmailzlHierlSiebenetal., author = {Schmailzl, Anton and Hierl, Stefan and Sieben, Manuel and Brunnecker, Frank}, title = {Optimierung der Spanndruckverteilung beim Laserdurchstrahlschweißen komplexer Bauteile mittels FE-Berechnung}, series = {JOINING PLASTICS}, volume = {7}, journal = {JOINING PLASTICS}, number = {1}, pages = {30 -- 34}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{SchmailzlHierl, author = {Schmailzl, Anton and Hierl, Stefan}, title = {Online-process monitoring of laser transmission welding for polymers}, series = {Applied Research Conference 2013, ARC 2013 ; 17th and 18th October 2013, Deggendorf}, booktitle = {Applied Research Conference 2013, ARC 2013 ; 17th and 18th October 2013, Deggendorf}, editor = {Ziemann, Olaf and Bogner, Werner and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen}, publisher = {Shaker}, address = {Aachen}, pages = {374 -- 378}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KaesbauerSchmailzlPrehmetal., author = {K{\"a}sbauer, Johannes and Schmailzl, Anton and Prehm, Jens and Loose, Tobias and Hierl, Stefan}, title = {Simulation of Quasi-Simultaneous Laser Transmission Welding of Plastics}, series = {Procedia CIRP}, volume = {94}, booktitle = {Procedia CIRP}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.procir.2020.09.136}, pages = {737 -- 741}, abstract = {Thermo-mechanical simulation offers great opportunities to optimize welding processes of plastics.

In this work, a 3D-scanner with integrated pyrometer is characterized and used to measure the temperature during quasi-simultaneous laser transmission welding of polyamide 6. However, due to welding in an overlap configuration, the heat radiation emitted from the joining zone of a laser transmission weld has to pass through the upper polymer, which is itself a semi-transparent emitter. Therefore, the spectral filtering of the heat radiation in the upper polymer is taken into account by calibrating the pyrometer for the measurement task. Thermal process simulations are performed to compare the temperature field with the measured temperature signal. The absorption coefficients of the polymers are measured, in order to get precise results from the computation. The temperature signals during welding are in good agreement with the computed mean temperature inside the detection spot, located in the joining area. This is also true for varying laser power, laser beam diameter and the carbon black content in the lower polymer. Both, the computed mean temperature and the temperature signal are representing the core temperature. In order to evaluate the spatial sensitivity of the measurement system, the emitted heat radiation from both polymers is calculated on basis of the computed temperature field.
