Ultrasonic welding is a new process for joining dissimilar and refractory metals in spacecraft. In this process there is no melting, cast nugget, significant diffusion, recrystallization. grain growth, grain boundary depletion or formation of brittle intermetallic compounds. Ultrasonic welding may be used for economy purposes or where other joining methods either fail or are impractical. The process provides joint strength that sometimes is considerably greater than that obtnined with conventional resistance welding. The consistency of ultrasonic welding is good. In contrast to other welding methods the material degradation is insignificant. However, ultrasonic welding should not be con sidered as a cure-all. Rather, it will complement other joining processes. (auth)
