“…Hence, researchers have analyzed the influence of these parameters on the seam performance so that the parameters can be altered to achieve a better seam performance. Ultrasonic Welding parameters such as welding speed/time (Jevšnik et al ., 2017; Şevkan Macit and Tiber, 2017; Shi and Little, 2000), the amplitude of vibration (Shi and Little, 2000; Vincourek, 1990), welding pressure (Ghosh and Reddy, 2009; Ibar, 1998; Yan et al ., 1997) and welding width (Hussen et al ., 2022; Serkan and Erdoğan, 2011; Şevkan Macit and Tiber, 2017), were noted to influence the seam performance. Also, fabric properties such as areal density (Grams per square meter - GSM), strength and composition influenced the welded seam performances.…”

PurposeUltrasonic welding is an emerging apparel manufacturing technique. However, the applications are widely explored in the field of technical textiles, with less exploration in the apparel endues. The purpose of this study is to explore the application of ultrasonic welding in apparel by analyzing the impacts of different parameters.Design/methodology/approachThis study analyzed the influence of ultrasonic welding parameters, including pressure, welding speed and ultrasonic power on the seam performances (seam strength, seam bursting strength, seam thickness and seam stiffness). The parameters are optimized using Box–Behnken experimental design to achieve better seam performances.FindingsThe properties of ultrasonic seams are influenced by welding and fabric properties. Ultrasonically welded seams showed better performances in the case of comfort properties of seams, whereas the functional properties are lesser compared to conventional seams.Originality/valueThe findings of the research clearly outline the level of influence of different parameters on the performance of the ultrasonically welded seams in knitted fabrics, which can greatly help in applying ultrasonic welding manufacturing methods in apparel manufacturing.

Ultrasonic seaming has become an important issue in recent years due to its various features. In this study, waterproof polyester knitted fabrics with polyurethane coating were used and the bursting strength, bending property and water permeability property of ultrasonic seaming were examined by changing various parameters. Besides, the ultrasonic seaming method was compared to conventional seaming and adhesive tape application. It is observed that there were high water permeability values generally in ultrasonic seaming and also fabrics with no water penetration were seen in this method, although, in some ultrasonic seaming parameters, values are lower than adhesive tape sealed ones. On the other hand, the bursting strength values of the ultrasonically sewn fabrics are found to be comparable to conventional seam and sealing adhesive tape when the optimum seaming parameters are determined. Also, it can be said that for the bending property according to increasing bending length values in this method compared with the others, ultrasonic seaming may find more usage areas where fabric stiffness is more advantageous. It has been observed that it is important to determine the fabric and ultrasonic sewing parameters according to the required performance property.
