Ultrasonic welding is a method of joining two nonferrous metal pieces using high frequency acoustic vibrations to create a strong metallurgical bond without heat, solder or flux.

The high power vibrations are transmitted through a specially designed velocity transformer called a “horn” to the clamped workpiece. The vibrations disrupt the oxide layer at the mating surface causing the metal atoms to diffuse from one piece to the other. This creates a cross-linking that produces a true bond.

What is a balanced valve and what are the benefits of this type of design?

A balanced valve design means that the internal forces from pressure are equal. The forces from air pressure that open the valves are equal to the forces from air pressure that close the valves. In engineering school, engineers are taught to draw a “free body diagram” of the part in question and then apply all forces to that “free body.” With this type valve design, the forces from the pressure will be equal in both directions.
