Experimental and theoretical investigations on ultrasonic metal welding and optmisation of process parameters to achieve quality welds

Abstract

During resent years industries have started using materials with high strength to weight ratio such as aluminum alloys composites magnesium alloys copper alloys and advanced high strength steels This is especially true in the case of automobile industry which is aggressively pursuing the development of high performance energy efficient vehicles The assembly processes in such cases involve innovative solid state joing in which metallurgical bonding between similar or dissimilar materials can be created without melting newline
