Abstract

During ultrasonic welding, plastic deformation, elastic hysteresis, and friction generate heat at the contact portions of the two materials to be welded, theoretically analyzing and experimentally measuring the temperature at the welded part are very important for identifying the heat affected zone. However, the welding temperature during ultrasonic welding wherein welding is performed in less than a second is a challenge. We investigated the effects of welding conditions such as welding time, welding pressure, and the ultrasonic vibration amplitude of horns on the temperature of welded surface of a Ni sheet of thickness 0.1 mm. We used a horn with a resonance frequency of 40 kHz and an ultrasonic welder. The temperature was measured using a intrared sensor, and its characteristics were investigated. Experimental results showed that increase in welding time and pressure and ultrasonic vibration amplitude of horns generally caused the increase in surface temperature of the weld.
