Despite errors in part design, assembly or machine set-up, ultrasound still enables you to produce acceptable parts.

There are few penalties: machine breakdowns are infrequent, and the sonotrode and anvil are rarely damaged.

4.1 Thermoplastic monomaterials

All thermoplastics can be welded together. Depending on the parameters mentioned above, the materials react with varying degrees of ease.

There are a few simple rules to follow:
