Percussion welding

Percussion welding is a solid-state welding process that uses a high-energy mechanical impact to join two metallic workpieces. This process is characterized by a rapid, short-duration application of force, usually achieved through a hammering or impact mechanism. The key steps involved in percussion welding include: 1. **Preparation**: The surfaces to be welded are often cleaned and aligned to ensure good contact. 2. **Striking**: A striker or hammer impacts one of the workpieces with a significant force.
