A technique and a tool for ultrasonic welding by pressing a connecting element into a constant gap is proposed. The welded joints of plates arranged parallel to each other prove to be consistent in terms of strength and transparency. It is established that the coefficient of concentration of energy released per unit of volume of the parts being welded greatly depends on the contact area between them. When designing a welded seam, it is necessary to ensure edge preparation to reduce the contact area between the welded parts. In the case of a V-shaped protrusion in the design, the angle at its top should be approaching 90. The optimal technological parameters for ultrasonic welding by pressing into a constant gap are determined.

The ultrasonic welding of polymeric materials is one of the methods often used in practice. However, each couple of material subjected to ultrasonic welding is characterized by different values of technological parameters. Therefore, the main objective of the research presented in this paper is to optimize the parameters for the ultrasonic welding of two materials, namely PBT-GF30 (70% polybutylene terephthalate + 30% fiber glass) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE). In this sense, the research was carried out considering a plate-type part made of PBT-GF30, which had a thickness of 2.1 mm, and a membrane-type part made of e-PTFE, with a thickness of 0.3 mm. The condition imposed on the welded joints made, namely to correspond from a technical point of view, was that the detachment pressure of the membrane should be at least 4 bar. To this end, a test device was designed. Additionally, the topography of the material layer from the plate-type part was analyzed, as well as the chemical composition and surface condition for the membrane-type part. The obtained results allowed the optimization of the following parameters: The welding force; welding time; amplitude; and holding time. All experimental results were processed using STATISTICS software, which established how each parameter influences the characteristics of welded joints.

In the present study, the microstructures and properties of DSS 2205 solid wire MIG welded samples prepared in different shielding gases (pure Ar gas, 98%Ar + 2%O2 and 98%Ar + 2%N2) were investigated for improving the weldability of DSS 2205 welded joint. The work was conducted by mechanical property tests (hardness and tensile test) and corrosion resistance property tests (immersion and electrochemical tests). The results show that adding 2%O2 into pure Ar gas as the shielding gas decreases crystal defects (faults) and improves the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the welded joints. Phase equilibrium and microstructural homogeneity in welded seam (WS) and heat-affected zone (HAZ) can be adjusted and the strength and corrosion resistance of welded joints increased obviously by adding 2%N2 to pure Ar gas as the shielding gas. Compared with DSS 2205 solid wire MIG welding in 98%Ar + 2%O2 mixed atmosphere, the strength and corrosion resistance of welded joints are improved more obviously in 98%Ar + 2%N2 mixed atmosphere.

The scientific paper presents an extensive research on modeling and optimizing the technological parameters of the process for processing by processing electric discharges with massive electrode with and without magnetic activation. Scientific research is based on real data collected from the process of electrical discharges performed on various samples extracted from areas of welded joints of metal components made of high alloy steel. The processing of experimental data was performed both classically and actively, especially the method of the central factorial experiment composed of orthogonal and rotary. The process parameters that were initially modeled and subsequently optimized were based on a series of independent variables characteristic of dimensional processing by copying the shape of the electrical discharge processing. Subsequent research conclusions and directions, as well as original contributions, are an experimentally validated point of view and worthy of consideration. All these fundamental ideas highlighted above find their explanations and the corresponding explicit treatment in the content of this scientific paper that addresses both managers at all levels and researchers.

This paper presents a mechanism of formation of a hard-to-weld polycarbonate joint by ultrasonic welding. The method utilizes internal and external friction occurring in the welded joint area on abutting surfaces due to shear vibrations of the end of the upper part relative to the lower part. A layer of the heated welded material is formed, localized by thickness, in which predominant absorption of the ultrasonic vibrations occurs, which allows one to obtain high-quality and durable welded joints without significant deformation due to the concentration of thermal energy in the welding zone. The effect of independent welding pressure on the strength of the welded joint of polycarbonate is considered. A new method of ultrasonic welding under the conditions of independent pressure is proposed. The method consists of dividing the static welding pressure into two components: the pressure of the acoustic contact in the zone of contact of the waveguide with the product, and the welding pressure that compresses the welded products, with the latter component being lower than the former. In order to obtain high-quality welded joints made of polycarbonate and to prevent displacement of the welded edges during the welding process relative to each other, a special preparation of the welded edges is developed, which allows one part to be moved vertically relative to the other during the welding process. It is established that the quality of welding depends on the speed of movement and the angle of cutting the edges.

An ultrasonic welding method for round-shaped products made from ABS plastic is described in this paper. This method can eliminate roughness and waviness on the contact surface between the planimetric waveguide and the welded part, increase heat removal from the surface of the welded part in the subwaveguide zone and improve the efficiency of ultrasonic welding as well as the strength and quality of the welded joint. It is shown that a mushroom-shaped waveguide is the optimal choice for planimetric ultrasonic welding of ABS parts of the fan wheel type with regard to the uniformity of the oscillation amplitude distribution along the perimeter of the waveguide’s working end face. The optimal form of the waveguide’s working end face is defined that entails fixing the connecting parts relative to the waveguide’s axis along their diameter. It is established that at a certain combination of the ultrasonic welding modes for ABS plastic the rate of deformation at large welding pressures can turn out to be higher than at small pressures. This is caused by the competition of three factors: temperatures, static welding pressure and concentration of energy on the welded surfaces. It is determined that for welding ABS plastic the so-called soft modes of ultrasonic welding with small static welding pressure and oscillation amplitude of the waveguide’s end face should be used. In this case welding occurs only due to the distribution of microroughness, without dents from the waveguide on the surface of the welded material. Optimal welding parameters for ABS plastic are determined.

Welded Seam

Continuous ultrasonic welding is a high-speed joining method for thermoplastic composites. Currently, a thin film energy director is used to focus the heat generation at the interface. However, areas of intact energy director remain in the welded seam, which significantly lowers the weld strength, and result in a non-uniformly welded seam. To improve the weld uniformity of continuous ultrasonically welded joints, we changed to a more compliant energy director. A woven polymer mesh energy director was found to give a significant improvement in weld quality. The mesh was flattened in between the composite adherends during the welding process. This flattening promoted a good contact between the energy director and the adherends, fully wetting the adherend surfaces, resulting in a more uniformly welded seam without areas of intact energy director.

Contact Area Ratio

In order to investigate into the quantitative relationship between the hydrostatic pressure generated within the surface pocket of the workpiece and the normal pressure acting on the real contact area at the interface of metal forming such as drawing, rolling, forging and so on, the hydrostatic pressure is calculated accompanied with reduction in height in upsetting of cylinders having a central conical impression or a central conical dent filled with lubricant on the top surface, using the rigid-plastic finite element method. The formulated is based on the plasticity theory. The material is assumed to be rigid perfectly plastic material. It is assumed that the hydrostatic pressure is generated accompanied with a volume change in the surface pocket for compressible lubricants. The results obtained from the calculation are as follows: (1) The hydrostatic pressure generated within the lubricant in a central conical impression in cylindrical upsetting approaches the yield stress at a reduction in height of about 4 percent; (2) The hydrostatic pressure generated within the lubricant in a central conical dent in cylindrical upsetting having an annular asperity increases linearly and abruptly with increasing height reduction when the contact area ratio is small and the bulk deformation is elastic, and it increases gradually and the maximum value approaches the normal pressure acting on the contact area when the contact area ratio becomes large and the bulk deformation is plastic.
