    摘要: A welding assembly for forming a weld along a welding interface of a work piece(s) using vibrations includes a welding tool and a thermal barrier. The thermal barrier is at least a chemical and/or mechanical insulating layer positioned adjacent to the welding tool, which minimizes the rate of dissipation of heat generated by the vibrations at or along the welding interface. The welding assembly may also include a wear-resistant layer adjacent to the thermal barrier, which protects the thermal barrier from damage or wear. The welding tool is a portion an anvil assembly and/or a sonotrode assembly. A method of insulating a welding tool includes applying or connecting a thermal barrier to a surface of the welding tool, and minimizing the rate of dissipation of heat generated by the vibrations at or along the welding interface using the thermal barrier, which includes an insulating layer.

    摘要: A method for heating a work piece or a welding interface using a vibration welding system includes positioning the work piece adjacent to a welding tool to define the welding interface and then heating the work piece or the welding interface to within a calibrated threshold temperature using a thermal device, e.g., a heat rod, laser device, or blower. A high-frequency vibration may be applied to form a weld. The work piece may include an adjacent interconnecting member and battery tab. The thermal device may be embedded within the welding tool and controlled via a temperature controller. A vibration welding system includes a welding tool, a thermal device, and a controller. The controller controls the thermal device to thereby control the welding temperature at or along the welding interface. The thermal device may be embedded within the welding tool, which may be configured as an anvil body in one embodiment.
