摘要
In ultrasonic metal welding, low specific resistances and large joining surface cross-sections require the use of mechanical testing to quantify the joint quality. In this study, different quality features of ultrasonically welded joints made of pure copper sheet are investigated during the successive phases of joint formation. Two test series with different workpiece geometries are examined. It is shown that mechanical quality features such as shear and peel forces behave differently over the formation of the joint and are not transferable. As an alternative to these, laser scanning microscopy is used to record images of the fracture surface that describe the growth of the joint area during formation. The study finds that shear tensile force growth and joint area growth are non-linear and comparable, with optimized welds achieving joint areas of 30 mm2 out of 64 mm2 and 6 mm2 out of 16 mm2. Although overall quality increases with increasing welding time, the material strength in the joint zone decreases. Depending on the original rolling condition, between 43% and 59% of the original material strength can be identified as the joint strength. The automatic analysis of fracture images is a suitable alternative to mechanical testing for similar joints.
