Advantages
of MTI’s
Welding
Process
Top Ten Reasons
to Consider
Friction Welding
1. Dissimilar metals are joined,
even some considered
incompatible or unweldable.
2. The process is at least twice—
and up to 100 times—as fast as
other welding techniques.
3. Friction welders are versatile
enough to join a wide range of
part shapes, materials and sizes.
4. Joint preparation isn’t critical…
machined, saw cut, and even
sheared surfaces are weldable.
5. Resulting joints are of forged
quality, with a 100% butt joint
weld through the contact area.
6. The machine-controlled process
eliminates human error, and
weld quality is independent of
operator skill.
7. It’s ecologically clean—no
objectionable smoke, fumes, or
gases are generated that need
to be exhausted.
8. No consumables are required—
no flux, filler material, or
shielding gases.
9. Power requirements are as low
as 20% of that required of
conventional welding processes.
10.Since there is no melting, no
solidification defects occur, e.g.
gas porosity, segregation or slag
inclusions.
