Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows for efficient joining together various types of material without generating excessive thermal strain while maintaining their integrity. It involves applying an electrical force between two parts made from dissimilar materials called rings and/or elec trodes placed inside them. These forces help create tiny cracks within these components when they melt due to frictional contact caused by pressure waves produced by ultrasound waveform transmission. Ultraviolet ray irradiation further enhances fusion bondability and improves weld quality. Ultrasonics have been found effective in producing fine particles (nano-particles), increasing harden nodule formation and enhancing corrosion performance. Chemically cleanable surfaces like plasma etchants may replace expensive solvents.

Problems solved by technology

Technologies described by this patents involve developing new methods for joining different types of materials together without causing damage from electrical spark discharge (ESD). These techniques include both conventional resistance spotwelding processes and ultrasound spot winding connections. While these technical solutions aim to overcome limitations associated with traditional approaches like direct loading of ultraviolet laser waves onto the surface being joined, they require an excessive amount of energy input and may result in reduced strength compared to pure electric currents.
