DEVELOPMENT OF ULTRASONIC WELDING EQUIPMENT FOR REFRACTORY METALS

Abstract

Design, development, and construction of a 25-kilowatt spot-type welding machine has continued, with emphasis on refining the design of the tension-shell ceramic transducer and coupling systems, analysis of the adequacy of the hydraulic system, and assembly of components onto the welding machine structure. Requirements for the 25-kilowatt motor alternator components and associated switching requirements were established, and delivery of these components is expected about November 30, 1963. Modifications are being made in the ceramic transducer design to eliminate arcing and overheating at high power inputs and to permit operation at full design power.
