Choose from our download titles:- Advanced welding solutions – The friction welding advantage
The question that engineers and manufacturers ask when considering their production joining and manufacturing processes is can we do this better, cheaper and more efficiently? Joining similar, dissimilar or exotic materials directly to each other with a high integrity bond is the holy grail of industrial manufacturing.
The benefits of achieving this is to reduce cost, increase quality, efficiency and reliability…
TFW’s friction welding capabilities cover many material combinations and geometry options including bar to bar, tube to bar, bar to plate, tube to plate and tube to tube, for example. Commonly friction welded components include drill rods, axles, drive shafts, bi-metal connectors, pump shafts and cv joints.
Many years of sub-contract friction welding experience, demonstrated time and again…
