				Is friction welding right for your project?
Friction Welding is a diverse and adaptive process that can be used for many applications across several industries. As a solid-state joining process, Friction Welding offers a range of benefits and advantages as opposed to other welding techniques. It’s a proven and trusted process for many Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs. If you’re unsure of where to start, let us take it from here.
Five friction welding technologies that will change everything.
Low Force Friction Welding
Increase Precision at a
Fraction of the Force
				An optimized form of traditional friction welding, Low Force 
Friction Welding touts smaller and smoother flash, faster 
cycle times, and reduced machine size.

Not Seeing Your Combination Of Materials?
That doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Many of our material combinations are also proprietary. That’s why several of our customers use MTI’s in-house metallurgy lab, which will test your materials for strength and durability to see if friction welding is the right process for you.
Please note Weld strength is dependent on materials & geometry.
