Advantages of Ultrasonic
Welding
No heat is applied and no melting occurs.
Permits welding of thin to thick sections.
Welding can be made through some surface coatings.
Pressures used are lower, welding times are shorter, and
the thickness of deformed regions are thinner than for cold
welding.

Applications
Application in titanium welding for
aero-space vehicles.
Diffusion welding of nickel alloys
include Inconel 600, wrought
Udimet 700, and Rene 41.
Dissimilar metal diffusion welding
applications include Cu to Ti, Cu to
Al, and Cu to Cb-1%Zr. Brittle
intermetallic compound formation
must be controlled in these
applications.
