Friction Welding for Construction and Agriculture Applications
How MTIW is Making a Difference in Agriculture & Construction Manufacturing
To reduce costs, MTIW has developed a technique where expensive, total forged parts can be replaced with forged ends which are welded to a bar or tube stock without a reduction in quality. An example of this is hydraulic piston rods. These have similar-size ends but vary in rod diameter and length. Standardised ends can be welded to the required-size rod, reducing component costs as well as physical inventory requirements.
Why Friction Welding is Vital for Agriculture & Construction Applications
Friction welding is used extensively in this sector as the welds are of forged quality with 100% butt weld throughout the contact area and the bond is strong enough to handle the high stress and torque required of heavy machinery components.

Advantages & Benefits
Building Strength in Construction and Agriculture
MTI’s friction welding solutions are revolutionising the construction and agriculture industries. Our advanced technologies deliver superior quality, efficiency, and sustainability, empowering manufacturers to create more durable and eco-friendly equipment.
Forged Quality
As friction welding creates a 100% solid-state bond as opposed to traditional welding processes, the end product is of forged quality. This results in a longer useful life span and reduces wear and tear after excessive use, contributing to savings on your bottom line. The end result is a product that retains most if not all parent material properties, a bond strong enough to handle the stress and torque required of heavy machinery components.

The construction and agriculture industry require high precision and quality components. Friction welding ensures consistent, high-quality welds with minimal human error, enhancing the durability and reliability of equipment. This automation improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs. It also increases safety by reducing the need for manual welding in potentially hazardous environments.
Friction welding is an eco-friendly technology that does not emit smoke, fumes, or gases. Friction welding does not require consumables such as flux or filler material, reducing your carbon footprint all the way down your supply chain as less material and energy is used.
Our Commitment
Excellence in Every Weld, Perfection in Every Detail
MTI brings the highest possible degree of safety and quality, whether it’s a part we’re welding or a machine we’re building. We are equipped to produce parts for the most sensitive environments and exacting standards.
Friction Welding Machines for Agriculture and Construction
Consistent quality welds are crucial in agriculture and construction. For example, a butt joint must have a weld of 100% contact area to handle the high stress of torque. This is essential for components in irrigation systems and construction machinery.
Friction welding ensures a full surface weld of superior strength even if materials are not conventionally compatible for welding through other methods. And with automation for your friction welding machine, quality is consistent from the first part to the last. MTI is a leading manufacturer of such machines and services worldwide.
