The 6 Basic Joint Types for Friction Welding

November 21, 2017 by Bob M

The origin of friction welding and 6 basic joint types dates back to the Soviet Union in 1956 when first experiments and patents on the process were issued.  In the early 1960’s American friction welding companies Caterpillar, Rockwell International, and American Manufacturing Foundry filed patents and developed proprietary machines for the friction welding process.  Rotational […]

Welding Dissimilar Metals

May 19, 2016 by Bob M

Welding Dissimilar Metals is desirable for many reasons.  Whether you have an issue with mechanical wear problems, or a high-temperature situation, different metal properties are required for different applications.  More often, Friction Welding accounts for nearly half the welding of Dissimilar Metals.  Benefits of Welding Dissimilar Metals include: Cost reduction substituting lessor grade material Saves […]

Spin Welding / Friction Welding – Is It For Me?

December 18, 2015 by Bob M

Similar, bi-metal, multiple metal welds

Spin Welding – or Friction Welding – is a controlled machining process for joining SIMILAR or DISSIMILAR (Bi-Metal) combinations of materials. The ultimate goal of spin welding is to have a 100% weld throughout the full joint interface. This means, given suitable materials, the weld union or interface strength is equal in strength to that of the parent […]

Spinweld’s Bi-Metal Friction Welding Applications

June 13, 2014 by Bob M

Friction welding continues to reach new industries, new applications, new processes, and new opportunities.  More commonly known as the use of friction welding for automotive applications in the early ’60s.  A few major companies secretly embraced and applied friction welding as a manufacturing production process.   This was cutting edge technology back then and still is […]
