Benefits & Advantages
Environmentally Friendly
Environmentally friendly process minimizes
energy consumption and generates no smoke, gasses, or waste
stream.
Product Improvement
Join highly dissimilar metal combination
to optimize your products' quality and properties.
Joint strength equal to or greater than
that of parent material.
Low temperature solid state forging
preserves microstructure and material properties (no melting)
Full cross-sectional porosity-free bond.
Very narrow heat-affected zone.
Consistent & repeatable high quality
welds through microprocessor-based automation.
Unlimited part length.
Only solid, internal materials exist
across boundary- no third alloys.
Allows flexibility to combine materials of
different properties or prefab components made by different
technologies
Combining materials frees your design to combine properties like conductivity, reluctance, hardness, strength, weight, tubulars, non magnetics, etc.
Cost Savings
Produce near net shape geometries not
producible with forging, casting, or forming that reduce machining
and waste.
Create casting or forging-like blanks with
minimal tooling costs and no minimum lot quantities.
Save labor, material, and operations
through near net size design.
Simplification of component design.
Ideal for small quantities/prototypes
through high volume thanks to low initial costs.
Low cycle times = High production rates
and low costs.
No joint preparation required - saw cuts
are most commonly used.
Join less costly, lighter, or tubular
materials to expensive materials or prefabs to optimize designs.
In-process flash removal- eliminates
costly grinding.
Standardization of components lets you
reduce inventory.
No fluxes, fillers, shield gasses or vacuum required.
