The “composite material” is composed of a discrete reinforcement & distributed in a continuous phaseof matrix. In Glass Fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite, plastic is used as matrix which form network withglass fibre. Glass fibre composites are strong and stiff being light in weight increases strength to weight andstiffness to weight ratios. Plastic composites can joined by mechanical fastening, adhesive bonding and welding.Mechanical fastening, adhesive bonding combined with pre-treatment and welding , therefore, have been appliedfor joining. Ultrasonic welding has received significant attention during past few years due to their suitableapplications in comparison to conventional fusion welding techniques. Strength of ultrasonically welded GFRPdepends on process parameters like pressure, weld time, thickness ratio, and amplitude. This paper presents anoverview of ultrasonic welding process, joining of GFRP, and process parameters
