By: William Walley Here is an excerpt from the new Resistance Welding Tips and Basics webpage: “Resistance or Friction welding are two welding processes that fit into a category of processes that works with a workpiece that is moving and another piece that remains stationary. In the process heat is generated through friction as the two pieces come together and an "upset" (a lateral force) displaces and fuses these materials. Friction welding is generally used with thermoplastics and other metals and is used a lot in the aviation and automotive industries. In friction welding there is no melting and the heat is directed to the weld interface. This creates a small heat zone. Also, as the friction is happening it cleans the surface of the materials to be welded so the welder does not have to prepare the surfaces before welding. This method of welding also has several advantages. The metal that is used has small pieces of "plastic" metal that is forced out of the area where the friction is happening. This metal called "flash" comes out in ripples and seems to carry away the dirt or the debris that would normally occur when doing welding.” There is plenty of more information on the new Resistance Welding website that can be found by visiting: http://www.welderworld.com/ About Welder World: Welder World is a Community Site that brings users into a deeper relationship with Welding, Welders from all over the world, and other welder community members. # # # About Welder World: Welder World is a Community Site that brings users into a deeper relationship with Welding, Welders from all over the world, and other welder community members.
