    Abstract: A stable bonding processing for metal, of which at least a part is plated, is provided. A plated metal bonding apparatus performs bonding of a first metal and a second metal. At least one from among the first metal and the second metal has a plated bonding portion where the bonding processing is to be performed. A bonding processing unit performs bonding of the first metal and the second metal using sound vibration and/or ultrasound vibration. The bonding processing unit performs the bonding processing using a plated material or otherwise using a metal portion in a state in which a plating material has been removed.

    Abstract: A mechanical vibration machining method or the like is suitable for allowing a probe to provide vibration to a horn with high efficiency. A horn portion is supported by a first support portion and a second support portion configured as a double-support structure. A first probe unit and a second probe unit are coupled to both ends of the horn portion. The first probe unit and the second probe unit vibrate the horn portion by means of vibration generated by a first generation unit and a second generation unit. The horn portion provides nodal points at which elongation and contraction alternately occur. For example, in a case in which the contact portion is arranged at the center of the horn portion, the second generation unit is oscillated with a phase that is the opposite of that of the first generation unit.

    Abstract: In a vertical vibration joining apparatus where a resonator having a vibrator on one end side is horizontally attached to a supporting tool capable of ascending and descending, the resonator includes a cross horn of a cross shape in a front view and two boosters, the cross horn is for converting acoustic vibration transmitted from the vibrator from vibration in a lateral direction to vibration in a vertical direction orthogonal to the lateral direction, two boosters are provided at both ends of a pair of projection portions of the cross horn in the lateral direction, and portions to be supported to the supporting tool are coaxially and integrally provided on two boosters by bending outer peripheral faces of the boosters at minimum vibration amplitude points of vibration in the lateral direction resonating with the acoustic vibration transmitted from the vibrator outside in a diametrical direction to project the same annularly.

    Abstract: A distal end portion for pressing an object to be joined of one of a resonator and a reception jig is constituted as a protrusion having an outer face not including an angular sharp edge, such as a hog-backed shape or a semispherical shape, and during joining, while metal foils stacked are being laterally thinly stretched with lateral vibration from the resonator and atoms of the metal foils are being moved laterally without the protrusions forcibly holding down the metal foils, a metal amount corresponding to a volume stretched is smoothly discharged along a curved face without breaking the metal foils, and even when the stacked metal foils are used as the object to be joined, breaking of the metal foils is not generated during joining, so that a step of protecting the metal foils with a protection member is unnecessary.

    Abstract: A rivet joining method, etc., suitable for providing rivet joining using sound vibration and/or ultrasound vibration is provided. Joining is provided in a state in which a rivet is inserted into a hole formed in a base member. The base member includes a first member and a second member. The hole is formed such that it passes through at least one of the members. The rivet is formed of a metal material and has a head portion and a body portion. A vibration processing part applies sound vibration and/or ultrasound vibration to the rivet in a state in which at least its body portion is inserted into the hole, so as to join the rivet and the inner face of the hole.

    Abstract: A mechanical vibration machining apparatus or the like is suitable for forming a stable machined surface. A mechanical vibration machining apparatus performs machining of a machining target using a horn. A control unit instructs the horn to perform a mechanical vibration operation and a rotational driving operation. The control unit controls the mechanical vibration and/or the rotational driving in a periodic manner. For example, the control unit supports intermittent alternating control. That is to say, when one from among the mechanical vibration and the rotational driving is provided, the other is suspended. Such periodic control allows the stress that occurs due to the applied force to be dispersed, thereby allowing a stable machined surface to be formed.
