Abstract

To stabilize bonding strength by concentrating bonding energy upon members to be bonded together, when an overlapped interface of a plurality of members to be bonded together is to be bonded by ultrasonic vibration, heaters 6 and 7 are caused to generate heat to heat the bonding working portion 3d of a resonator 2, whereby bonding energy generated by ultrasonic vibration and bonding energy generated by heating are provided to the interface so that bonding energy can be concentrated upon the interface without increasing the energy of ultrasonic vibration and bonding strength can be stabilized. Further, when electric heaters are used as the heaters 6 and 7, operationability is improved. Moreover, when heater holes 3e and 3f are formed in the resonator 2 and electric heaters are fitted into the holes 3e and 3f, heater installation work is facilitated. The heater may be provided in the mount.
