• The process is completed in a few seconds with very high reproducibility - an essential requirement for a mass production industry. Now, a new variant from the same stable of friction processes, ...

If your project requires joining two pieces of plastic and need a stronger connection than you'd get with glue you can weld two pieces of plastic together by using a rotary tool to spin a plastic rod.

Friction stir welding joins previously unweldable materials. Friction stir welding, a relatively new process, is having a tremendous impact on welding dissimilar alloys. It was developed in 1991 by ...

Retention of material properties: Minimizes material distortion. Safe operation: Does not create hazards such as welding fumes, radiation, high voltage, liquid metals or arcing. No keyholes: Pin is ...

Most processes designed to join two pieces of what-have-you together are consumptive of something, whether it’s some material acting as a third party to work piece and the tool, or the tool itself. In ...

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Twenty years ago, it was a revolutionary idea for welding metal together. Ten years later, it was critical technology for America's space shuttle. Today, the technology called ...

Friction welding as a way to reduce costs is a viable option for design engineering and new product development. Cost versus performance criteria—abrasion or corrosion resistance, mechanical strength ...

Friction welding is a solid state joining process used for joining of different metals that provides similar welding properties as like parent metal properties. In this welding process no filler metal ...

Printing metal as easily as it is to print with thermoplastics has been a dream for a very long time, with options for hobbyists being very scarce. This is something which [Rotoforge] seeks to change, ...
