Ultrasonic Welding

?
What is Ultrasonic Welding?
A solid state welding technique where the faying of the two components to be welded are subject to normal static forces and a shearing oscillating force.
1 of 9
What frequency is the oscillating force generally applied at?
Between 10 to 75kHz
2 of 9
What do the shearing forces cause?
The plastic deformation at the interface of the 2 components, they also act to break up the oxide layers.
3 of 9
What temperature does the weld normally reach?
About 30 to 50% of the melting temperature of the material.
4 of 9
How is an increased area of pure metal contact formed?
Through progressive shearing and high plastic deformation between asperities that disperses oxides and contaminants.
5 of 9
What would happen if two surfaces have a really fine finish?
They will slip over one another and enough heat will not be produced through friction to form the weld.
6 of 9
What would happen if two surfaces are too rough?
The parts would not move and no heat would be generated.
7 of 9
What is the weld strength equal to?
The base metal
8 of 9
What can ultrasonic welding be used for?
Suitable for thin section such as foil or plate and is extensively used in electrical connections.
