Description

Ultrasonic welding joins two workpieces together by focusing ultrasonic waves along the junction, causing them to form a permanent bond.

Overview of Process

Ultrasonic welding is a process for joining two workpieces together, especially with regards to plastics. The workpieces are placed against each other, and ultrasonic waves are focused onto the junction, which causes the workpieces to form a permanent bond.

Additional Notes
