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 ...

Moog Inc., East Aurora, N.Y., and Thompson Friction Welding, Clinton Township, Mich., recently teamed up to develop the world’s largest linear friction welding machine. The new machine is capable of ...

Innovations in Friction Welding benefit a host of industries. Seeking new ways of improving production, focusing on driving quality for cost effective solutions; David Hoel from American Friction ...

Record-breaking linear friction welding is made possible by high-powered hydraulics and sophisticated controls. • The E100 welds up to 15 in.2, applying 22,050 lb of force. • Moog hydraulics permit ...

Friction welding fuses metals without melting them and is used in aerospace to join engine disks (rotational welding) or fabricate aircraft and spacecraft structures (friction-stir welding). Now ...

Friction welding spins so fast and burns so hot that it looks like the excess orange metal is something that’s not meant for this world. The metal pipes forge together so colorfully (and almost ...

Now arriving in Middletown: The world’s largest welding machine. Early Wednesday morning, the linear friction welding machine is expected to roll into Pratt & Whitney’s Middletown assembly plant on ...
