Technological special features of ultrasound welding polymer films

The design of permanent joints with fillet welds characterized by bevelling of the edges with the depth decreasing with an increase in the distance from the weld edge to the centre of the weld is proposed. The experimental results show that in producing permanent joints with the edge bevel of variable depth, the volume of the deposited metal is reduced by 35% with the corresponding reduction in the material requirement of the process without reducing the load-carrying capacity of the welded joint.
