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 ...

Even though 3D printers can fabricate complex shapes that would be nearly impossible to mill, they are not well suited to designs requiring bridging or with large empty spaces. To overcome this, ...

According to leading industry sources listed in ManufacturingTalk.com, friction welding has become widely accepted as a competitive and effective process and a valid, proven alternative to complex ...

Friction welding techniques expand the designer’s toolkit by creating strong bonds between dissimilar metals in a shorter time and with a smaller heat-affected zone Friction welding was first patented ...

• The process is completed in a few seconds with very high reproducibility - an essential requirement for a mass production industry. Now, a new variant from the same stable of friction processes, ...

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Twenty years ago, it was a revolutionary idea for welding metal together. Ten years later, it was critical technology for America's space shuttle. Today, the technology called ...

The typical images of welding—a robotic arm burping sparks or a masked Jesse James hovering over a glowing metal puddle—don’t apply to friction stir welding (FSW). The metal-joining technique was ...

Linear friction welding welds materials together using heat from friction. After placing two materials into a welding machine they are then pushed tightly together. One of the two materials moves ...
