Fundamental understanding of many multiscale manufacturing processes can be significantly improved with better sensing and instrumentation techniques. In light of the recent advances in micro senor technologies, this paper first reviews the recent research conducted at University of Wisconsin-Madison in developing methods to integrate micro thin film sensor into harsh environment manufacturing processes. The study demonstrates how thermomechanical data obtained with distributed micro sensors to improve the understanding of laser micromachining and mesoscale ultrasonic metal welding. The paper then presents the current study in an effort to extend the method to more manufacturing process, the feasibility of embedded micro sensors in metallic material using ultrasonic welding and diffusion bonding was investigated.

Abstract Ultrasonic metal welding is one of the key technologies in manufacturing lithium batteries, and the welding quality directly determines the battery performance. Therefore, an online welding process monitoring system is critical in identifying abnormal welding processes, detecting defects, and improving battery quality. Traditionally, the peak welding power is used to indicate abnormal process signals in welding process monitoring systems. However, since various factors have complex impacts on the electric power signals of ultrasonic welding processes, the peak power is inadequate to detect different types of welding defects. Therefore, a signal pattern matching method is proposed in this study, which is based on the electric power signal during the entire welding process and thus is capable of identifying abnormal welding processes in various conditions. The proposed method adopts isometric transformation and homogenization as signal pretreatment methods, and Euclidean distance is used to calculate the similarity metric for signal matching. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method are experimentally validated under different abnormal welding conditions.

The study of defect formation at metal surfaces is a fundamental problem in surface physics. An understanding of defect formation is pertinent to growth and diffusion mechanisms. In addition, surface roughening, faceting, and surface melting are all defect mediated phase transitions involving the formation of different topological defects. While the importance of defects at surfaces is well recognized, the study of surface defects has been hampered by the lack of sufficiently accurate experimental techniques. In fact, it is only in the past 6 years that experiments on the thermal generation of defects on metal surfaces have been performed. This review attempts to outline both the theoretical and experimental work on surface defect formation on metal systems.

This paper presents a tool wear monitoring framework for ultrasonic metal welding which has been used for lithium-ion battery manufacturing. Tool wear has a significant impact on joining quality. In addition, tool replacement, including horns and anvils, constitutes an important part of production costs. Therefore, a tool condition monitoring (TCM) system is highly desirable for ultrasonic metal welding. However, it is very challenging to develop a TCM system due to the complexity of tool surface geometry and a lack of thorough understanding on the wear mechanism. Here, we first characterize tool wear progression by comparing surface measurements obtained at different stages of tool wear, and then develop a tool condition classification algorithm to identify the state of wear. The developed algorithm is validated using tool measurement data from a battery plant.
