A LIMITED EVALUATION OF ULTRASONIC SPOT WELDS IN X2020-T6 ALUMINUM ALLOY SHEET

Abstract

Ultrasonic welding, a newly developed, solid state, non-fusion process for joining sheet metals without solders, fluxes, or filler metals appears to be superior in some respects to electrical resistance welding. A limited evaluation of specimens of X2020-T6 aluminum alloy, indicates that more comprehensive test work should be done in an effort to qualify this process for manufacture of production parts of various structural alloys.
