Induction bonding Metal to plastic

Objective: Bond an aluminium mesh to a plastic beer keg
Material : Aluminium mesh
. Plastic keg 320 mm (12.5”) ID
Temperature 250 C (482 F)
Frequency 200 kHz
Equipment UM-10AB-UHF, induction heating system, equipped with a remote workhead containing two .33μF capacitors (for a total of .66 μF).
An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application.
Process/Narrative A single-turn solenoid coil is placed around the assembled
beer keg and heated for 35 seconds as the keg is rotated.
Pressure is applied with a press on the top rim whilst the keg is
rotating, forming a seal between the aluminium mesh and the two halves of the beer keg.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
. Quick, reliable, repeatable heat
. Localized, precision heat to the mesh area
