To create the new iMac, Apple’s thinnest desktop yet, the designers used friction-stir welding to join the aluminum body. Unlike arc welding, the more standard way to fuse metal plates, a friction ...

You’d think writing for Hackaday means we probably don’t get surprised very often by projects… but then we see something we never thought was possible — in this case, the linear friction welding of ...

Friction welding can often make an excellent alternative to brazing. Friction welding overcomes several of the variables associated with brazing that can affect bond integrity. Some of these include ...

Innovations in Friction Welding benefit a host of industries. Seeking new ways of improving production, focusing on driving quality for cost effective solutions; David Hoel from American Friction ...

Friction welding uses frictional heat to forge parts together without melting them. Engineers can use friction welding to join dissimilar materials and tailor a design’s material properties.
