Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a finite element-based method for formulating welding process parameters of PE electric fusion pipe fittings. Background technique [0002] PE pipes are widely used in gas transmission, water supply, sewage, agricultural irrigation, oil fields, mines, chemical industry, post and telecommunications and other fields due to their advantages of light weight, low price, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and insulation. [0003] Electrofusion welding is the main way of connecting PE pipes. Electrofusion welding mainly melts the welding area between PE electric fusion pipe fittings and PE pipes by energizing the resistance wire embedded in PE electric fusion pipe fittings. Under the action of internal expansion pressure, Polyethylene polymer chains diffuse and entangle with each other, forming a strong connection after cooling. The welding process parameters of PE electric fusion pipe fittings are directly related to the success ...
