5. OPERATION
5.1. TESTING MATERIALS TO BE WELDED:
5.1.1. Most adhesion failures are due to the incorrect matching of materials. The welding rod therefore must be of the same material as
the item to be welded. For instance, most car body parts are made of ABS material.
 Somemanufacturershowever,usedi󰀨erentplasticsintheirproducts.Totest,snipo󰀨apieceofmaterialfromtheworktobe 
welded and proceed as follows:
