Hello
By any chance, is anyone using friction welding machines?
I am looking for the parameters to adjust old welding machines that we have just recovered.
And of course in the instructions there are missing all the charts to define the different parameters of docking, friction and forging.
Ideally, depending on the materials to be welded and the diameters, you should know the different settings for optimal welding.
Thank you

Hello @s.b
I don't have these machines on hand.... But I'm really interested in it. I have often heard of it but never seen it. So, do you think you can make a little report for us afterwards?
Hi @ s.b
I found this on the net that looks interesting on the subject ;-)
with some value paintings........
maybe it will help you a little?

Hello!
It seems to me that the name of the welding process is called "FSW". Maybe you'll get more abacus via this term.
Hello
Interesting information here:

It's true that I didn't specify it, but it's rotational friction welding of 2 cylindrical parts.
So it's more FRW.
A short video of the principle.

We are not on steel, but on aluminum, so less impressive.
The pieces don't redden.

Hello
Not much feedback, I'm not too surprised.
