@nexofalak: "This is how friction welding joins metals using only pressure and rotation" In friction welding, one workpiece spins rapidly while pressed against a stationary piece. The intense friction at the contact point generates heat, softening the metal surfaces. Under high pressure, the softened materials intermix and form a strong bond. This solid-state process avoids melting, preventing defects like cracks or porosity. It's ideal for joining dissimilar metals that can't be fused traditionally. The result is a high-strength joint with minimaldistortion.
