This paper deals of a technology involved in the joining of thermoplastic composites, the resistance welding technology. This process takes advantage in the repeatable melting process for the thermoplastic resins. The process was numerically modeled to study the effect of the two main process parameters, the electric power density applied to the heating elements and the exposure time at the electric current.
