Rotary Friction Welding - Applications
Friction is usually considered a nuisance in motion control. But if put to correct use, it results in one of the best forms of metal joining techniques.
Rotary Friction Welding is applicable across a wide range of industry segments and ETA Technology has supplied a range of Friction Welders for such industries. Following are a few of the significant applications of this technology
- Automobile – Bimetallic engine valves, Rear axle housings for trucks and trailers, Piston Rods, propeller shafts, drive shafts, CV joints,passenger side airbag inflator etc.
- Aerospace – Titanium rotor assembly, Jet engine compensating shaft,Jet engine fan shaft,Ball screw actuator,Bi-metallic aircraft rivets,Stator vane, adjustor lever etc.
- Marine- Turbocharger
- Mining – Drill Pipes
- Others – Hydraulic Equipments, cable lugs, cutting tools like twist drills, end mills, reamers.
