Friction welding

Friction welding is a solid-state welding process that joins materials through the heat generated by mechanical friction between the workpieces, along with some applied pressure. Unlike traditional welding methods, which often involve melting the materials to create a joint, friction welding relies on the frictional heat produced at the interface of the materials being joined. ### Process Overview: 1. **Preparation**: The surfaces of the materials to be welded are typically cleaned and prepared to ensure a good bond.
