3. INTRODUCTION
Ultrasonic Sonic means The wave haveing frequency is
more then 20khz. Ultrasonic welding is
an industrial technique whereby high-
frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations are locally
applied to work pieces being held together under
pressure to create a solid-state weld.

4. Why to use US welding?
First - Ultrasonic assembly uses ultrasonic vibratory
energy which is transmitted through the parts to melt and
bond thermoplastic materials And joining thin sheet
gauge metals and other lightweight materials
Second - This technique is fast, efficient, non-
contaminating and requires no consumables.
Third - In ultrasonic welding, there are no connective
bolts, nails, soldering materials, or adhesives necessary to
bind the materials together.

6. A static clamping force is
applied perpendicular to the
interface between the work
pieces.
The contacting sonotrode
oscillates parallel to the
interface.
Combined effect of static and
oscillating force produces
deformation which promotes
welding. Anvil

7. Principle of Ultrasonic Welding
In ultrasonic welding, frictional heat produced by the
ultrasonic waves and force is used for the joining process.
Ultrasonic waves (15 to 60 kHz) are transferred to the
material under pressure with a sonometer. Welding times
are lower than 3 s. The welding can proceed with or
without the application of external heat.

15. Advantages
Heat affected zone is minimized
Very thin materials can be welded
Surface deformation is minimum
Welding of glass is also possible
No defects due to gases, arc and filler metal
Presure uses are lower ,and welding time are shoter
Dissimilar materials can be joined
Welding can be made through some surface coating

16. Disadvantages
Restricted to join thin materials
Competitively not economical
Materials being welded may tend to weld to the tip and
anvil

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.
