A system includes a body having a pair of cable jaws. The pair of cable jaws further includes a dispensing track on an inner circumference of the pair of cable jaws to retain a segment of a thermoplastic cable material. The system includes a piston. The piston is configured to secure an overlapping segment of the thermoplastic cable material at the weld area. An induction coil is configured to apply an electromagnetic field. The system includes a power supply.

A connection arrangement includes a first plastic component, a second plastic component, and a closed induction ring. The first plastic component has a first joining region designed as a receptacle, and at one end, the second plastic component has a second joining region introduced into the first joining region. At the joining regions, the induction ring is at least partially fused into the two plastic components such that at one contact region between a first plastic melt of the first plastic component and a second plastic melt of the second plastic melt, a material-conclusive connection is generated. In this case, the induction ring is melted into the first plastic component while forming at least one first undercut, and is melted into the second plastic component while forming at least one second undercut such that between the plastic components and the induction ring, one each form-fitting connection is created.

A joining method for thermoplastic elements that comprises the steps of providing two thermoplastic parts having two surfaces to be joined, locating a graphene layer between the two thermoplastic parts adjacent to the surfaces to be joined, and heating the graphene layer such that the graphene layer melts the thermoplastic resin of the adjacent surfaces of the two thermoplastic parts that are to be joined.

A component includes at least first and second plastics component parts which are interconnected in a connection zone. A reinforcing element includes at least one wire which bridges the connection zone. The first and second plastics component parts are welded together and/or are fused together in the connection zone. The plastics component parts may be bonded to one another.
