  • Transmission laser welding of amorphous and semi-crystalline poly-ether–ether–ketone for applications in the Medical Device Industry
    Materials & Design, 2010
    Co-Authors: Negin Amanat, Cedric Chaminade, John Grace, David R. Mckenzie, Natalie L. James
    Abstract:

    Abstract The use of thermoplastics in the Medical Device Industry is increasing rapidly. This is stimulating the development of manufacturing processes, such as joining techniques, for these materials. Transmission laser welding (TLW) is a fast and efficient method for joining thermoplastics, creating a strong and durable bond. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of laser intensity, scan speed, and material morphology on the lap-joint bond strength of poly-ether–ether–ketone (PEEK) joined using TLW. Clearweld® was used as the infrared absorbing medium at the interface. Two laser powers (10 and 20 W) and five scan speeds (4, 8, 16, 32, 64 mm/s) were assessed for quality of the joint for two PEEK morphologies (amorphous and semi-crystalline). The results showed that the greatest bond strengths were achieved using the two lowest scan speeds of 4 mm/s and 8 mm/s ( p p
