Oxy Acetylene Welding Analysis for Plastic Welding of Thermoplastic Polymer Materials Analisa Las Oksi Asitilen untuk Las Plastik Material Polimer Termoplastik

Abstract

Plastic welding technique is a technique of gluing to workpieces, especially plastic materials. The aim of this research was to join the thermoplastic polymer material using an acetylene oxy welding. The connection method is by melting the electrodes on the workpiece so that the electrodes can fuse to the parent material. The materials used are Polyethylene (PE), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Polypropylene (PP) plastic sheets with the appropriate electrodes from their respective parents. After going through the welding process, the weld results are tested using a dye penetrant. The best results from the dye penetrant are then tested for hardness
