“…This results in higher resistance to tensile loading, resulting in higher tensile strength compared to single-pass welds. In addition, the tensile strength of the joint is comparable to the previous research, which is achieving in the range of 70-83% (Abdulrehman & Marhoon, 2023;Bozkurt, 2012;Raouache et al, 2018). However, more scattered results were observed in double-pass FSW joints.…”

“…It has exceptional properties including high toughness, resistance to abrasion and impact, minimal water absorption, affordability, and the capacity to be recycled. This material is extensively employed in the fields of agro-industry, medicine, and household applications (Raouache et al, 2018). However, the use of joining technologies is frequently necessary for components made of plastic material that have a vast scale and complex shape.…”

The study investigates the impact of tool rotational speed and welding configuration on the mechanical properties of friction stir welded joints of HDPE plates. The plates were cut into rectangular shapes and clamped on a metal plate for FSW welding. Two welding configurations were used: single-side welding (SS) and double-side welding (DS), with rotational speeds of 900, 1500, and 2000 rpm. The plates were subjected to tensile and bending tests, and angular distortion was also measured. The findings suggest that decreasing the tool's rotational speed to 900 rpm and using double-side welding reduces angular distortion and improves tensile and flexural strength. The study emphasizes the importance of defect reduction techniques in improving the mechanical properties of HDPE FSW joints.

High‐density polyethylene (HDPE) is one of the most used thermoplastic materials for piping applications, due to its significant advantages. The butt‐fusion process is the most used joining processes for HDPE welding. During the process, the behavior of the material changes. This behavioral change depends on the applied welding process and on the used parameters. Thermal analysis can be used as a tool to reveal and evaluate the modifications of the physical and mechanical properties. In this study, an experimental program was applied to HDPE to assess the effects of different parameters on the welding process including heating temperature, heating duration and the applied strength. Tests are performed according to a full factorial design of experiment (DOE). Mathematical models derived from experimental data are used to establish relationships between the input parameters, such as force and heating duration and the corresponding outputs such as temperature distribution during the different welding phases and the thickness of the molten polymer. The empirical models can be used to implement a control strategy for the temperature and hence quantify the thickness of the molten zone to improve the quality of the weld joint by selecting the appropriate welding conditions for the molten zone.Highlights High‐density polyethylene piping butt‐fusion joint examination using Infrared imaging. Spatial–temporal distribution of temperature for different phases of the welding process. Mathematical Regression techniques are performed. Thickness of molten polymer is assessed. Results are useful for saving material and improvement of the process.
