In the ultrasonic welding process, the amplitude of the ultrasonic welding equipment plays a decisive factor in the impact of welding. Usually, we select the appropriate amplitude range according to the products to be welded. Next, Nico’s editor will lead you to learn some ultrasonic welding knowledge.

Amplitude is one of the very important parameters in the ultrasonic welding machine. It has a decisive effect on the size of the friction power. At the same time, it has a very close relationship with the oxide film on the welding surface, the frictional heat generation of the bonding surface, and the plastic flow layer. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right amplitude. The amplitude range is generally from 5 to 256 nanometers. The smaller the power of the welding machine, the higher the vibration frequency, and the lower the selected amplitude; when the weldment is thinner or the hardness is lower, a lower amplitude should be selected. The reason for this is that the magnitude of the amplitude is directly related to the moving speed of the weldment on the contact surface, and the relative moving speed determines the friction power, plastic flow and temperature.

Each weldment has a suitable amplitude range value. The following is an example to illustrate: For aluminum-magnesium alloy weldments, the strength of the weld joints under different amplitudes. When the amplitude is set to 17 nanometers, the welding strength of the solder joint is the largest, and then as the amplitude decreases, the strength also decreases. When it is as small as 6 nanometers, the joint can no longer be formed. This is caused by the relative movement speed being too small. When the adjusted amplitude value exceeds 17 nanometers, the strength of the solder joints is also reduced, but this is because the inside of the metal material is destroyed.

The amplitude table on the ultrasonic plastic welding machine cannot be ignored. Within the best amplitude range of the weldment, select the appropriate amplitude range. Using a large amplitude welding machine can effectively reduce the welding time. For those who want to improve work efficiency It is a very good method for them.
