Manufacturability is an important consideration in product design. A great idea in prototype will not succeed if it can’t be transitioned to mass production. All too often, however, manufacturability factors are overlooked until late in the design process and problems arise. One critical aspect of manufacturing is materials joining. If joining considerations are made after...

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...
