Study of the technology of vbration jointing of thermoplastic materials used in the automotive sector

Abstract

Plastics have a wide use in almost all economic areas, their appearance and use has emerged as a necessity to reduce the consumption of natural products and thus decrease the impact on the environment. In the automotive field, a wide range of plastic products are used due to the additional advantage of weight saving and the production rate of large parts, but which in the assembly process requires joint operations with each other respectively with other objects. An important factor in the studied theme was the challenge of combining 2 different PPMA and ABS materials, taking into account the advantages of each one, namely the PMMA polymer plastic material ensuring the transparency property and the ABS polymer plastic material ensuring the strength and stability of the jointed part. The study presents a part used in the automotive industry for which the process of combining the component materials was detailed
