Explore as a unique rotary welding table is built using a 24v/12v power supply and motors repurposed from a mobility scooter and an Audi A8 B4 wiper motor. The table features an 800mm diameter ...

This paper presents the study of defects formation in the friction welding process of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. The microstructure analysis and visual inspection of weld joints were done to identify ...

The friction between them generates enough heat to soften but not melt the metal surfaces. When enough force is applied, the softened materials bond together, creating what is known as a solid-state ...

According to Quacy Wilson, the academy’s student selection director, the Blue Collar Tour was created to inspire the interest of high school students in blue collar trades, specifically welding. At ...

Some welding on U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers by Newport News Shipbuilding at its shipyard was reportedly defective.

Friction welding (also known as stir welding), is the process of taking two pieces of material (typically metal, or plastic), and vibrating one of them super fast while pushing against a ...

Rotary friction welding process (RFW) is one of the most used processes in the world for manufacturing bimetallic components that require high mechanical strength. All process occurs in solid state at ...

American Friction Welding has installed a new Thompson 50-ton rotary friction welding center at its facility in Waukesha, Wis., to expand capacity and provide manufacturing redundancy and scheduling ...

American Friction Welding (AFW) is a bi-metallic friction welder of dissimilar metals and near-net-shape parts. The company uses direct-drive rotary friction welding to deliver high precision, full ...
