Friction welding titanium

Linear friction welding is a solid-state joining process pioneered by TWI that has become an established technology for several niche aerospace applications. The method involves two parts being pushed together, one oscillating at a high frequency. This creates friction that heats the metals to a temperature at which they are able to join together. When the oscillation stops, the parts cool to form a forged-quality weld. To find out more please visit our website:
