Aerospace industry is going through a phase where there is an evolution towards lightweighting the aircrafts byusing light weight composite materials. This has huge financial and environmental implications for allstakeholders. There is an increasing need to develop techniques which can process these materials (joining,welding, etc.) at a similar rate to conventional metal components. A thorough feasibility study of ultrasonicwelding, the process variables involved and its suitability for commercialization will be done in this project. Theproject will also compare parts processed by ultrasonic welding to established manufacturing techniques.The key outcomes and understanding from this project will be fed into a larger industrialisation project whichwill assess the suitability, repeatability and mechanical properties of composite parts proceseed by usingultrasonic welding techniques.The UK aerospace industry and the entire supply chain can benefit fom the understanding of a clean, fast andreliable joining technique and this feasibility study is the first step towards achieving that goal.

航空航天工业正在经历一个阶段，在那里有一个向飞机轻量化的演变，通过使用轻质复合材料。这对所有利益相关者都有巨大的财务和环境影响。越来越需要开发能够加工这些材料的技术（连接、焊接等）。以与常规金属部件类似的速率。本项目将对超声波焊接、所涉及的工艺变量及其商业化的适用性进行彻底的可行性研究。该项目还将比较超声波焊接加工的部件与现有的制造技术。该项目的关键成果和理解将被输入一个更大的工业化项目，该项目将评估使用超声波焊接技术生产的复合材料部件的适用性，可重复性和机械性能。英国航空航天工业和整个供应链可以受益于对清洁，快速可靠的连接技术，而这项可行性研究是实现这一目标的第一步。
