Ultrasonic metal welding (UMW) is widely used in high-volume manufacturing, particularly lithium-ion battery assembly, due to its fast cycle time and ability to join thin or dissimilar materials. But the process is sensitive to variations in tooling, materials, and process conditions, and conventional quality control relies on destructive testing methods that are costly, time-consuming, and...

Rare earth magnets are a key component of electrical power applications intended to reduce carbon emissions, with wide-ranging uses in electric vehicles, wind power generation, and more. These magnets rely on critical rare earth elements, mainly neodymium, which is predominantly sourced from China, creating significant risks around availability and pricing. As a result, there is...
