Ultrasonic welding of clad metals

Control the weld conditions

Review amplitude, force, weld time or energy, tool geometry and surface condition. Different hardnesses and layer thicknesses affect deformation, so settings should be developed for the actual parts.

Inspect the completed joint

Use the project’s mechanical and electrical requirements to select the tests. These may include peel or shear testing, cross-section examination, resistance measurement and thermal cycling. Define the sample preparation and acceptance criteria before comparing results.

Provide the material stack, dimensions, surface condition, joint drawing and required strength and resistance. Confirm the sample and test scope with Raytron before setting a production process.
