Friction Welding (FW) is a group of solid-state welding processes using heat generated through mechanical friction between a moving workpiece, with the addition of an upsetting force to plastically displace material. Many dissimilar metal combinations can be joined and there are a number of process variations including:
- Rotation Friction Welding
- Linear Friction Welding
- Friction Surfacing
- Friction Stud Welding
- Friction Stir Welding
