Learn more about ultrasonic:

The word ultrasonic means ultrasound. Ultrasonic waves are used in many different fields such as laser, distance measurement, for cleaning and accelerating chemical processes and laboratory equipment, blood pressure measurement, heterogeneous welding, casting, turning, etc.

Ultrasonic Welding:

Ultrasonic welding is an advanced and widely used welding technique in advanced industrial ‎countries.

The process is solid state welding and not much heat is generated in this process. It is used not only ‎for plastics and metals, but also for bonding dissimilar materials and for bonding metals to plastics. ‎A ‎notable characteristic of this method is that the temperature stays well below the melting point ‎of ‎the involved materials.
