Ultrasonic welding of dissimilar materials: A review

Elma Kicukov, Ali Gursel

Abstract


During the last few years ultrasonic welding has become significant attention regarding its suitable applications in comparison to traditional welding techniques. Bonding of dissimilar materials has always been a challenging task due to poor control on grain size and sensitive mechanical properties that could have been made by joining with traditional welding techniques. Moreover, joining dissimilar materials such as Aluminum/steel, metal/glass, Aluminum/copper had not been achieved without the usage of ultrasonic welding technique. This work presents a review of literature regarding the usage of ultrasonic welding technique in many applications. Additionally, this paper provides different examples and applications of ultrasonic welding technique and its application. Main advantages of this technique are, clean and undamaged exterior parts of weld, power savings, stable and strong bond, time efficiency.
