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.

Today challenges material price versus performance in pump shaft manufacturing have gotten tougher with each price increase for raw materials. Friction welding as a way to reduce costs is a viable ...

Instead, two components are rubbed together at a controlled rotational speed, which creates the friction and heat that allows both components to reach a plastic state and forge together into a bond.

Veridiam Medical now offers spin welding, a technology that uses rotational friction to precisely weld plastic and metal components together for medical device applications. To reduce lead time and ...
