• The Friction Welding Process
  for more than 50 years. While well-known to some, it's been a very well-kept secret. As customers learn and understand the process, benefits become clearly obvious. * The Friction Welding Process was formally defined by the AWS on Oct 15, 2008 in the Recommended PracticesAWS C6.1 for the Welding Industry...
• The Friction Welding Advantage
  , the process is one of the manufacturing industry's best-kept secrets. Friction welding can replace conventional welding and one-piece construction as one of the most economical welding processes available. In addition, it offers design, strength and cost reduction benefits. Design Versatility A wide...
• Meeting Hydraulic Cylinders Rod Manufacturing Challenges Using Friction Welding (.pdf)
  Today's hydraulic cylinder manufacturers are challenged with tough delivery schedules, material strength requirements, and cost savings. These challenges provide yet more affirmation for the use of friction welding and the advantages it can provide in the manufacturing of hydraulic piston rods...
• Causing a stir in welding
  resistance of fusion welds. Often the weld has a finer microstructure than the parent material. A significant benefit of friction stir welding is that it has few variables that must be controlled. In a fusion weld, for instance, technicians have to closely monitor the purge gas, voltage, amperage...
• Friction Stir Weld Finishing (.pdf)
  Friction stir welding (FSW) offers great promise as a means of joining dissimilar alloys and producing welds with superior metallurgical properties and strengths. Fasteners may be eliminated from many aerospace applications. Significant cost reductions and novel combinations of materials...
• The Application of OIM to Friction Stir Processing of Cast NiAl Bronze Materials (.pdf)
  Orientation imaging microscopy (OIM) has been used to investigate deformation and recrystallization during friction stir processing (FSP) of cast NiAl bronze materials. FSP is a novel adaptation of friction stir welding (FSW), a solid state joining technology originally developed at The Welding...
• Controlled Plasticity Burnishing to Improve the Performance of Friction Stir Processed Ni-Al Bronze (.pdf)
  Friction stir welding (FSW) allows the joining of aluminum alloys in ways previously unattainable offering new manufacturing technology. Friction stir processing (FSP) of cast alloys such as Ni-Al bronze eliminates casting voids and improves the properties to that of wrought material. However...
• Fatigue Life Improvement and Mitigation of Pitting Corrosion Damage of Friction Stir Welded 2219-T8751 Aluminum Alloy by Low Plasticity Burnishing (.pdf)
  Friction stir welding (FSW) is a new solid state joining process for aluminum alloys including those alloys considered not weldable. However, the FSW process produces zones of tensile residual stress at the edges of the stir zone. Recent residual stress studies performed at Lambda Research...
• Featured Application: Laser Cutting Viton(R) Rubber Gaskets
  SYNRAD's sealed CO2 lasers are used in a variety of industrial processes including cutting, welding, drilling, and marking. This news brief features news and information from Synrad, and highlights some of the interesting materials and products that are processed daily by Synrad's line of CO2...
• Fatigue Life Improvement of Welded Elements by Ultrasonic Peening
  on the combined effect of the high frequency impacts of the special strikers and ultrasonic oscillations in treated material. The UP was applied successfully for the increasing of the fatigue life of parts and welded elements, eliminating of distortions caused by welding and other technological...
