Merits of Friction Welding
History
Friction Welding is a method of welding that makes use of heat caused through relative motion in upset processing between one moving material and another stationary material, and fuse the two materials.
The study of this method started in Russia, America or Japan around 1960, and the first welding machine for practical use was released in 1963. It realized the mechanization and automatization of welding operation, and has greatly contributed to saving costs by its own quality progress and the low power.
We immediately focused on the merits of this technology, and introduced it in 1975. We have made use of the technology for our production, widely accepted orders of the customers, and helped the every customer’s cost saving and quality progress. Now, our factories are equipped with 5 automatic friction welding machines, and we strive for further improving of our processing ability.
