What are the friction welding parameters for joining WPC components in outdoor sofas?
Friction welding is an effective method for joining Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) components in outdoor sofas, offering strong and durable bonds. Key parameters include rotational speed, friction pressure, forging pressure, and welding time. For WPC materials, a rotational speed of 1500-3000 RPM is typically recommended, while friction pressure should range between 0.5-2 MPa. Forging pressure, applied after the initial friction phase, should be slightly higher (1-3 MPa) to ensure a solid joint. Welding time usually varies between 2-10 seconds, depending on the material thickness. Proper parameter optimization ensures minimal material degradation and maximum bond strength, making it ideal for outdoor furniture exposed to environmental stresses.
