Additive manufacturing technology for ultrasonic consolidation (UC) makes use of the properties of piezoelectric transducers, which produce high-frequency vibrations. When applied to metal foil surfaces, these vibrations help form solid-phase bonding between metals under certain pressure. To obtain better consolidation process parameters, samples of 0.2-mm-thick Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy, and 6061...
