Abstract:This paper describes a method developed to control the ultrasonic welding quality applied on fuel rails of internal combustion engines. This method consists in monitoring some physical phenomena involved in the welding process, as vibration amplitude, weld energy and process duration. Based in statistical analyses, durability and thermal ageing tests performed with a great population of manufactured parts, it was possible to classify some welding parameters and build a real time filter, able to segregate poor … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
