Overview of Ultrasonic Welding

Ultrasonic welding uses high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations which are applied to materials that are being held together under pressure to create a solid-state weld. This method is most commonly used to join thermoplastics and in joining materials that aren’t similar and does not require any bolts, nails, soldering material or adhesives that are needed to join the materials together. Although ultrasonic welding uses vibration to create a weld, ultrasonic welding is a different method from “vibration welding” (also known as friction [...]
