<p>A method of fusing thermoplastics components (12, 14) together comprises positioning an electrically conductive member (20) between opposing surfaces (16, 18) of two thermoplastic components to be fused together. The electrically conductive member comprises one or more perforations or spaces between solid material of the member. An electric current is caused to flow in the member so as to heat the member and melt at least some plastics material adjacent the opposing surfaces. The melted plastics material penetrates the perforations or spaces in the electrically conductive member, whereby melted plastics material from each component mixes so as to fuse the components.</p> |
