Resistive Implant Welding of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Compounds
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Resistive Implant Welding (RIW) is a technology that has the potential to join large thermoplastic automotive components. It involves placing an electrically conductive implant between two parts that are mated under pressure. Heat, dissipated at the interface by direct current, causes melting, flow and ultimately welding to occur. This research examines the RIW of long-glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene (LGF-PP) to continuous-glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene (CGF-PP) using a stainless steel mesh-implant. The effects of welding time, applied current, and weld pressure on the temperature near the mesh, meltdown and the compression-shear strength of the welds were assessed. The results show that it is possible to attain shear strengths of the order of 20 MPa under optimized welding conditions. The meltdown and strength correlate well with a semi-empirical lumped parameter dependent on weld-time, current squared and pressure.</div>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
