2. Abstract:
• The ultrasonic effect upon the molten metal generates a
smaller grain size, giving the metal more strength.
• Ultrasonic welding combines pressure and high frequency
vibration motions to form a solid state bond.
• The range ultrasonic frequency used in this welding is from
20kHz to 60kHz. This cool, strong weld capable of joining
such combination as aluminium to steel, aluminium to
tungsten, aluminium to molybdenum and nickel to brass.
• Ultrasonic welding has also made it possible to join metals
with vastly different melting temperatures, making strong
rigid joints. Thus many applications previously considered
unweldable can now revaluated

3. Introduction:
 In 1938, Lludwig Bergman and some colleagues
were experimenting with ultrasonic waves and
their effects on metal.
 He found that many metals could be combined by
using ultrasonic welding that could not be joined
by any other method.
 It was also found that any metal could be
strengthened by subjecting the metal in its molten
state to ultrasonic vibrations

6. Literature Survey:
 Research Papers Reffered:
1.Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Ultrasonic Metal
Welding Using a Harmonic Balance Method(2018)
2. Technology of thermal welding with ultrasonic weld
joint treatment (2017)
3.Ultrasonic welding of Bimetals (2016)

7. 1.Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Ultrasonic Metal
Welding Using a Harmonic Balance Method(2018)
 Ultrasonic welding is a widely used industrial technique
whereby high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations are locally
applied to two or more workpieces being held together
under pressure to create first heat and ultimately a solid-
state weld. In the welding process, stick, slip and
separation occur at the interfaces between adjacent
workpieces.
 Remark:In this study, a new methodology is proposed to
predict the friction forces by introducing a nonlinear
contact model and simulate the coupled thermal-
mechanical interaction. Mixed programming of MATLAB
and ANYSYS is developed with a harmonic balance method

8.  2. Technology of thermal welding with ultrasonic weld joint
treatment (2017)
The paper describes an innovative technology of thermal
welding with ultrasonic weld joint treatment as applied to
aluminum sliding formworks used in NPP construction.
Ultrasonic treatment in the process of welding greatly
increases the strength of formwork weld joints by reducing
their residual stresses, grain size and degassing.
Remark:
The paper presents the results of theoretical and
experimental studies of ultrasonic effects on the welded
joints and heat-affected zone.

9.  3.Ultrasonic welding of Bimetals (2016)
 The recent drive towards light weight construction in the
aerospace and automotive industries has increased
treamendously.
 Remark:
 Suitable joining methods are necessary in order to reliably
join materials like aluminium, copper etc.
 i.e.ultrasonic welding of bimetals.

10. Objectives:
 Increasing the strength, reliability and durability of welded
structures is an important problem in welding engineering.
A significant influence is exerted by residual stresses.
Uneven heating of the product during welding causes its
uneven temperature deformation. The product material
solidity prevents the free temperature deformation of its
individual parts, resulting in the formation of stresses and
plastic deformation of some parts of the joint metal during
welding, and after cooling, welding stresses and
deformations remain in the product
 So, Ultrasonic metal welding plays important role.
