ultrasonic welding
Ultrasonic welding is a solid-state welding technique that utilizes high-frequency acoustic vibrations to join materials under pressure, enabling fast and efficient bonding without the need for additional materials like bolts or adhesives. The process involves components such as transducers, sonotrodes, and anvils to create localized plastic deformation and heat at the weld site. While offering advantages like joining dissimilar metals and faster welding times, ultrasonic welding has limitations including economic viability and the inability to create certain joint types.

Editor's Notes
- #9 Typical components of an ultrasonic welding system are illustrated in the above figure. Linear ultrasonic vibrations are generated in the transducer and transferred to a sonotrode. The anvil holds the components in a fixed position and supports the clamping force.
- #10 The energy required to make an ultrasonic weld can be related to the hardness of the workpieces and the thickness of the part in contact with the sonotrode tip. Analysis of data covering a wide range of materials and thickness has led to the above empirical relationship. The constant “k” is a complex function that appears to involve primarily the electro-mechanical conversion efficiency of the transducer, the impedance match into the weld, and other characteristics of the welding system. Different types of transducer systems should have substantially different k values.
