ABSTRACT:
Provided is a method for crimping a thermoplastic member which allows a first member made of thermoplastic resin to be mounted on a second member at a high mounting strength without complicating the fabrication process and without causing any reduction in the production efficiency. After an entire portion of the first member that is to be crimped is thermally melted or softened, the portion is deformed and crimped by using a crimping die having a die surface which is at a temperature lower the melting point of the thermoplastic resin. Therefore, the deformed portion is given with a uniform internal structure free from internal defects such as cracks and interfaces. Because the interior of the crimped portion remains to be hot as compared to the surface portion which is in contact with the crimping die during the crimping process, a certain pattern of internal stress is produced in the internal part which opposes the internal stress of the surface portion as the deformed portion cools and contracts. Therefore, warping of the crimped portion can be avoided, and the thermoplastic resin member can be mounted on the second member at a high mounting strength without complicating the fabrication process and without causing any reduction in the production efficiency.
