ULTRASONIC WELDING PROCESS AND EQUIPMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ELECTRON-TUBE MOUNTS
Abstract
All of the connections in the modified Type 6080WB electron tube have been accomplished by ultrasonic welding with a standard 600-watt welding machine, special tips and anvil tooling. The complete assembly sequence required to make the ultrasonically welded tube mount has been demonstrated. Welding investigations with molybdenum wire wound frame grids have been limited to tooling design studies. Welding studies which involve ultrasonic bonding of 0.003-inch diameter tungsten-3 rhenium wires to molybdenum, tungsten, and nickel in 0.060-inch flat sheet are progressing satisfactorily, and final samples for shock and vibration testing will be prepared after minor welder tooling modifications such as grooving of tip and substitution of tip material from tool steel to Udimet 700 are completed.
