The advantages of low heat joining techniques, such as low distortion and little influence on the local material properties due to the low introduced amount of heat, shall be made usable for the manufacture of high strength structures by increasing the process reliability. The dependency between the parameters of the joining process, the seam geometry, the type of solder, the load type und the fatigue life especially of soldered structure with local strengthening shall be examined to allow a calculative estimation of the part’s life.

The paper presents a methodology for the lifetime assessment of welded polymer pipes. A fracture mechanics analysis of a butt-welded joint is performed by simulating radial crack growth in the nonhomogenous region of the pipe weld. It was found that the presence of material nonhomogeneity in the pipe weld caused by the welding procedure leads to an increase in the stress intensity factor of the radial crack and changes the usual failure mode of the pipe system. This can lead to a significant reduction in the lifetime of the pipe system.
