Friction Processes (Page 7)

Modeling of heat generation during plastic welding can save time and money in product development. EWI has developed an approach for spin welding, which shows good correlation to experimental results.  This work is described in FEA Modeling of Heat Development in Spin Welding, a paper by Miranda Marcus and Tom Feister. A similar approach can...

EWI and Manufacturing Technology, Inc. (MTI) are pleased to invite the public to a free webinar introducing the new joining technology, low force friction welding. The presentation will take place live on Tuesday, April 21, 2020, at 11:00 AM EDT. EWI resistance and solid-state welding expert Jerry Gould will join MTI President and CEO Dan...

Friction welding, a solid-state process that uses high-speed spindles to weld materials, is notably effective for joining dissimilar materials. EWI has recently developed a new micro-friction welder for small-scale, dissimilar metals joining. The system has been demonstrated on both aluminum-to-titanium and aluminum-to-stainless joints. Application of Micro-friction Welding for Dissimilar Metals, a paper by EWI’s Jerry...
