Polyethylene (PE) is an extremely versatile plastic and has the largest sales turnover than
other plastics. With new uses for PE, researchers continue to find innovative technologies to
process and join the material. Ultrasonic welding is one such process that is rapidly
emerging as a major joining process for thermoplastics because of its reliability, ease of

Polyethylene (PE) is an extremely versatile plastic and has the largest sales turnover than other plastics. With new uses for PE, researchers continue to find innovative technologies to process and join the material. Ultrasonic welding is one such process that is rapidly emerging as a major joining process for thermoplastics because of its reliability, ease of operation, fastness, and economic feasibility. Amorphous polymers are ideal materials for ultrasonic welding, but semicrystalline polymers are difficult to weld in the far-field region. This paper deals with the far field welding of semicrystalline polymer/high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The temperature distribution has been modeled for varying lengths of the specimen using Ansys to predict the temperature spikes, which can be related to the performance of the joints achieved. Experimental work studied the temperature at the joint interface and the variation in tensile strength for different lengths of the specimen.
