Friction welding

From GAWDAwiki

Friction welding is a solid state welding process that welds two cylindrical parts together. The two parts are brought into contact and one is rotated, causing heat friction. Forge pressure is then applied to join the two pieces.^[1]

Types of friction welding include:

• Rotary friction welding
• Linear friction welding
• Friction stir welding
