Induction welding is an important joining technique with potentially significant application in the connection of the Poly Ether Ether Ketone (PEEK). The present research employs the metal mesh as induction components into the induction welding of PEEK plate to PEEK plate at low power successfully. Besides, the examinations and analyses of macro/micro-structures, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and mechanical tensile properties of the joints are conducted. Meanwhile, the characteristics and formation mechanisms of the lap-welded interface structures are interpreted in detail. The results indicate that the interface morphology of the welded joint is of high quality at low power, which most of the interface area is tightly connected due to the element diffusion. Besides, the connection mechanism of the joint is bonding connection and mechanical engagement, which plays a major role in a great performance joint. Furthermore, the tensile fracture of the joint occurs in the heat-affected zone, which contributes to a high joint tensile strength.
