Join bi-metallics without melting

Maximize the possibilities of solid-state joining

Why limit your parts to just one material? Friction welding unlocks dozens of potential bi-metallic combinations – each one capable of improving your application.

DISSIMILAR METALS, UNMATCHED RESULTS

CUT COSTS, NOT QUALITY

There’s no need to use an expensive material for your whole part if only one section requires it. Friction welding can help you save money by utilizing a more affordable material where it’s not as crucial.

TRIM WEIGHT WHERE IT MATTERS

Bi-metallic friction welding can help achieve your lightweighting goals by only using heavier materials on your part where it’s absolutely necessary.

UNLEASH YOUR PART’S FULL POTENTIAL

Not all welding methods are created equal. Friction welding has the broadest capabilities for joining dissimilar metals.

BI-METALLICS IN ACTION: Explore the possibilities

  • One of Our Most Searched Combinations

    Copper and aluminum – how do we join them? In our “Will it Join?” series, we explore the possibilities of combining copper and aluminum to improve parts!

  • Reducing Equipment Wear

    MTI helped extend the service life of equipment for a Canadian oil sands producer, thanks to linear friction welding and the combination of tungsten and steel and intermediate materials.

  • Bi-metallics with Low Flash & Low Force

    The possibilities of joining dissimilar metals can be even broader with our newest solid-state joining technology! Request our latest whitepaper on Low Force Friction Welding for bi-metallics.

Been there. Done that. Prepared for the next metal.
