One of the key differentiators between friction welding and other welding techniques is the ability to join dissimilar metals or two different materials that may be impossible to join by other techniques. Doing so is a cost effective way of getting the benefits from both materials.

Joint preparation isn’t as critical in the Rotary Friction Welding process – machined, saw-cut, and even sheared surfaces are weldable. Less joint preparation also lowers overall cycle time, allowing greater throughput in a production process.

Rotary friction welding increases production efficiency by reducing the time required for each weld, leading to higher throughput in manufacturing processes. This enhancement lowers operational costs and ensures timely delivery of components, maintaining a competitive edge in industries where speed and reliability are crucial.

Rotary friction welding delivers consistent part quality through its precise and repeatable process, where each weld is controlled by parameters to ensure uniformity. The integration of advanced automation further enhances this consistency, minimising human error and maintaining high standards throughout production.

When operating a rotary friction welding machine, no objectionable smoke, fumes or gases are exhausted into the atmosphere, making it one of the most environmentally friendly welding processes in use today. Plus, rotary friction welding does not require consumables, flux, filler materials or shielding gases.
