Aerospace friction welding machines FOR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

BACK TO ALL TECHNOLOGIES

R&D is a necessary step in the friction welding process for joining bimetallics, designer materials such as powdered metals, and other exotic materials.  MTI has several machines in-house that are ready to be utilized for testing in your next project.

ROTARY R&D FRICTION WELDERS

250 TRIMODE ROTARY FRICTION WELDER

Located in South Bend, this machine has the unique ability to operate in direct-drive, inertia, and hybrid welding modes, ideal for a wide range of rotary applications.

LEARN MORE
MTI Model 300 Tri-Mode Rotary Friction Welder

300 TRIMODE ROTARY FRICTION WELDER

Located at the University of Strathclyde’s Advanced Forming Research Centre in Glasglow, this multi-dimensional friction welder is ready for your aerospace R&D work.

LEARN MORE

MODEL 400 ROTARY FRICTION WELDER

Available for your R&D projects in South Bend, Indiana, this friction welder was created with large aerospace applications in mind.

LEARN MORE

lINEAR R&D FRICTION WELDERS

Linear Friction Welders

LF35-35

Located in our Low Force Innovation Center in South Bend, Indiana, the LF35-35 is equipped to handle R&D for linear applications.

LEARN MORE
LF 35-75

LF35-75

Available for full-sized development work at LIFT in Detroit, Michigan, the LF35-75 has the largest tooling envelope of any linear friction welder in the world.

LEARN MORE

LOW FORCE R&D FRICTION WELDERS

MTI Microwelder with HMI

LOW FORCE MICROWELDER

This small machine has big potential for your next project. Our microwelder has all the valuable benefits of Low Force Friction Welding, but is designed for the smallest of parts.

LEARN MORE

LOW FORCE LINEAR LAB MACHINE

Located in our Low Force Innovation Center in South Bend, Indiana, the LF35-35 is equipped to handle R&D for linear and Low Force applications.

LEARN MORE
MTI Low Force Rotary Lab Machine

LOW FORCE ROTARY LAB MACHINE

Also located in the Low Force Innovation Center in South Bend, MTI’s Low Force Rotary Lab Machine is critical in determining whether your rotary application can be improved with Low Force Friction Welding.

LEARN MORE

NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Dual-Headed Friction Stir Welder

DUAL HEADED FSW 

Increase production through-put of assembles that require welds on two sides by completing both welds in a single pass with our dual-headed friction stir welder. Located in South Bend, this machine is ideal for large, long assemblies and extrusions.

LEARN MORE

PLUG WELDING

One of the most unique  friction welding processes, plug welding helps reduce MRO costs by repairing holes instead of scrapping assemblies due to corrosion or wear. You can take advantage of this technology in South Bend.
