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
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
Literature Survey:
Research Papers Reffered:

Welding Using a Harmonic Balance Method(2018)

2. Technology of thermal welding with ultrasonic weld

joint treatment (2017)

3.Ultrasonic welding of Bimetals (2016)

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
 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.
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.
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.
