Abstract
Provided is a welding joining method for joining end portions of first and second pipes made of polyamide resin by bonding the end portions to each other by pressure in a molten state. The welding joining method includes: a placing step of placing an infrared radiation lamp between the first and second pipes placed to face each other at an interval; a heating and melting step of heating and melting the end portions of the first and second pipes by emitting infrared; and a pressure bonding step of cooling down the molten end portions in a state where the molten end portions are bonded to each other by pressure.
Claims5
A welding joining method for joining end portions of tubular members made of crystalline resin by bonding the end portions to each other by pressure in a molten state, the welding joining method comprising:
- preparing an infrared emission unit configured to change characteristics of infrared to be emitted;
- a placing step of placing the infrared emission unit between the end portions of the tubular members, the end portions being placed to face each other at an interval in a tubular axial direction;
- a heating and melting step of heating and melting the end portions of the tubular members by emitting the infrared from the infrared emission unit;
- and
- a pressure bonding step of cooling down the molten end portions of the tubular members in a state where the end portions are bonded to each other by pressure, wherein:
- in the heating and melting step, the characteristics of the infrared emitted from the infrared emission unit are controlled so that a crystallinity along a tubular radial direction in a region starting from a boundary portion in a welding joined body after cooling does not suddenly change, the boundary portion being a part between a peripheral surface of a corresponding one of the tubular members and a weld bead discharged from a joined portion in pressure bonding such that the weld bead projects in the tubular radial direction.
