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.
