FRICTION WELDING DEVELOPMENT
FRICTION WELDING MACHINES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PRECISION COMPONENTS SIMPLIFY DESIGN, REDUCE MACHINING OPERATIONS, STEP UP PRODUCTION TEMPO AND SAVE MAN-HOURS. FRICTION WELDING GIVES THE DESIGNER GREATER FLEXIBILITY BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THE WELDING OF FERROUS TO NON-FERROUS METALS. CERTAIN CONDITIONS HAVE TO BE MET TO SIMPLIFY PRODUCTION AND REDUCE COSTS BY FRICTION WELDING: (1) A REASONABLE LENGTH TOLERANCE ESSENTIAL ON THE FINISHED COMPONENTS, (2) A HIGH DEGREE OF CONCENTRICITY BETWEEN THE TWO COMPONENTS ESSENTIAL, (3) A WELD OF HIGH INTEGRITY RIGHT ACROSS THE TWO FACES ESSENTIAL, (4) REPEAT ACCURACY ESSENTIAL, AND (5) THE PROCESS MUST BE CHEAP TO GIVE REASONABLE SAVINGS. ADVANTAGES GAINED USING BLACK'S FRICTION WELDERS INCLUDE: (1) IT GIVES A FULL FACE WELD OF HIGH QUALITY AND OF HIGH REPETITIVE ACCURACY AND REQUIRES NO WELD PREPARATION, (2) IT GIVES A CLEAN OPERATION WITH NO ABRASIVE SWARF TO AFFECT THE ACCURACY AND WORKING OF THE WELDER, (3) IT HAS LOWER POWER CONSUMPTION THAN COMPARATIVE ELECTRICAL WELDING TECHNIQUES REQUIRING A THREE- PHASE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY FOR THE DRIVE MOTOR AND AN AIR LINE SUPPLY FOR APPLYING WELD PRESSURE, AND (4) IT IS COMPACT IN SIZE.
