  Eastern Counties Branch Online Presentation:  An Introduction to Friction Welding and Processing

  
  

  
  

  The Eastern Counties Branch invite you to their May online technical presentation:  An Introduction to Friction Welding and Processing

  
  

  What will the event cover:

  This presentation will provide an overview of the different types of friction welding and processing, how they work, and some of the key industrial applications. The three main types of friction welding are rotary friction welding, linear friction welding, and friction stir welding, which will all be covered in this talk. The development of these welding processes for applications and industries will also be discussed. Many people have not come across friction welding and processing before, so we look forward to sharing some exciting information on these interesting approaches.
