Can tinned copper wire be welded using ultrasonic welding?

Since the beginning of the year, the editor has received many phone calls inquiring about the use of ultrasonic metal welding machines to weld tinned copper wire. Some friends know that tinned copper wire can be directly welded using ultrasonic welding machines, while others are unsure whether tinned copper wire can be welded using ultrasonic welding. In this article, the editor of Hengsheng Te clearly tells friends that tin plated copper wire can be welded with ultrasonic waves.

As is well known, tin becomes liquid at high temperatures due to material issues and cannot be welded using ultrasonic waves. After tin plating on copper wire, the material becomes harder and more brittle. The welding principle of our ultrasonic metal welding machine is to use high-frequency vibration waves to transmit to two metal surfaces to be welded. Under pressure, the two metal surfaces rub against each other to form a fusion between molecular layers. During this process, there will definitely be a certain temperature in the local area, which can cause the tin to melt and potentially lead to wire breakage. These are some friends who are very worried. This is also the origin of this problem. Ultrasonic welding machines can cause certain problems when welding tin plated copper wires, but for tin plated copper wires, the impact of these tin is not significant, and wire breakage is basically zero for good equipment. There is a need for the naming specificity of ultrasonic metal welding machines. The editor previously wrote an article (Ultrasonic Welding Machine for Tin Plated Copper Wire), friends can take a look. Meanwhile, if friends are interested in the welding process, they can also watch the welding video of tinned wire in the wiring harness video case.

As a professional manufacturer of ultrasonic metal welding machines, Hengsheng Te’s equipment can not only weld tinned copper wire, but also weld tinned copper wire and bare copper wire together, as shown in the above picture. If you need detailed welding parameters, you can call us for consultation. Our company’s products have been exported to foreign customers multiple times and have stable performance.
