MTI Rotary Friction Welding Machines – Precision, Performance, and Reliability

Explore MTI’s most popular Rotary friction welders for industry. Select a machine below for detailed information and specifications.

What is Rotary Friction Welding?

Rotary Friction Welding is a solid-state joining process in which one part in high-speed rotation is pressed against a stationary part. The friction created by their contact heats them enough to forge together below the melting point. This friction welding method is used in multiple industries for superior weld quality, such as aerospace, defense, and construction.
