This video highlights MTI’s Model 40, 2.4 kN-rated inertia friction welder. This friction welding machine is designed to support the production of bi-metallic titanium-alloy aircraft rivets. Built for precision, repeatability, and material flexibility, the machine uses inertia friction welding to create strong, solid-state joints for aerospace applications where weld quality and consistency are critical.
What is the 40B/V Rotary Friction Welder
The system is equipped with multiple tooling sets, allowing it to accommodate a range of bi-metallic titanium alloy sizes. This flexibility helps manufacturers accommodate various rivet requirements while maintaining a controlled, production-ready friction-welding process.
For aerospace manufacturers working with critical components, MTI’s Model 40 demonstrates how advanced rotary friction welding technology can help join challenging materials, improve process reliability, and support high-quality production outcomes.
