Extrusion welding is characterised by the following features:
-
A welding additive of the same kind and the same moulding material is used in the welding procedure.
-
The extruded and plastified welding additive (extrudate) leaks as a line from a plastifying unit.
-
The extrudate is homogeneous and completely plastified.
-
The joining layers are heated up to the required welding temperature and plastified.
-
The extrudate is spread by a welding shoe and pressed on. That means that the joining procedure is carried out under pressure.
