areas might remain cold and will not bond homogeneously. With vibration welding, additional plastic is needed in the joint area. As a result, a large amount of molten material is produced during welding. This material could get pushed out of the joint, creating an unsightly bond line Advantages Ultrasonic welding is also subject to such physical limitations when joining complex 3D-shaped parts. Ho...
