- Key Products/Technologies
- Friction Welding (FW) Technology: A solid-state bonding method involving high-speed rotation and friction of two materials to reach a high-temperature state, followed by sudden cessation of rotation and strong mechanical pressure. This technology achieves high-strength bonds without gas bubble defects common in conventional fusion welding, and is particularly effective for dissimilar and non-ferrous metal joining.Friction Welding (FW) Technology: A solid-state bonding method involving high-speed rotation and friction of two materials to reach a high-temperature state, followed by sudden cessation of rotation and strong mechanical pressure.
