Publisher Summary This chapter opens with a general discussion on various joining techniques in polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (PC/ABS) or copolymer alloy named Bayblend. Parts molded of Bayblend FR resins may be joined to other parts molded of Bayblend resins, or other plastics or metal parts by any of the variety of techniques. Various relevant methods of joining parts molded of Bayblend FR PC/ABS Copolymer are given in the chapter. The elasticity of Bayblend FR resins permits the application of snap fits. This method of assembly is a fast, easy, and economical way to assemble two or more parts. Bonding or welding may be used for permanent joints. Bolts, screws, or ultrasonic inserts work well for detachable assemblies. A table depicting in the chapter to present the achievable strengths of the vibration welds of PC/ABS alloy to itself and other thermoplastics.
