Ultrasonic metal welding
Ultrasonic metal welding is rapidly becoming the process of choice by informed design and manufacturing engineers, because actual applications and operating cost comparisons well illustrate the degree of acceptance and the inherent advantages of ultrasonic metal welding for interconnection applications.
Features and Benefits for Ultrasonic Metal Welding
.Ultrasonic Metal Welding is the ideal process for bonding conductive non-ferrous materials such as copper, aluminum, nickel, brass, gold and silver, similar or dissimilar.
.Excellent welds are achieved even if welding materials are dissimilar in thickness and composition.
.It features fast cycle time, as a typical weld takes only seconds or fractions of a second.
.It is an environmentally friendly process as no solders, flux or braze material are required; no heat is applied, and no consumables are needed; no sparks, fumes or arcs are generated during the welding process.
.Very little energy is expended for a weld. It requires much less energy than that of traditional technologies like resistance welding, and eliminates the need for consumables such as solder, flux, crimp connectors and braze materials.
.It is a cold, friction welding technique without melting the parts and no harmful intermetallics are formed, while a true metallurgical bond is created.
.The ultrasonic weld is extremely reliable, resulting in the highest electrical conductivity.
.Weld tooling typically lasts for several hundred-thousand cycles without need for maintenance.
