Design Flexibility, Reduced Costs - Benefits of Friction Welding

With friction welding holstered in your toolbelt, you can increase design flexibility and reduce costs on your most problematic, solid-state joining challenges by applying this tried-and-true tool. William Reinhart, Business Mgr., Contract Welding Services, Manufacturing Technology Inc. reports in the November 4, 2010 issue of Machine Design, "Routinely welding the impossible", about the history, virtues, and the various technologies of friction welding. Reinhart covers rotational, linear, and friction stir friction welding methodologies with an eye towards cost rduction and increased design creativity to solve many design challenges.
