We live in the age of customization. Just about anything can be customized: cars, clothes, homes, etc. The idea of customization has been integral to the manufacturing industry for some time now. At MTI, we understand that need for being able to ensure end-results meet specific needs.
In fact, a key aspect to what we do involves taking friction welding and integrating it with a design and evaluation process that leads to either creating unique machines for the client or producing customized parts that cannot be made using traditional manufacturing processes. Being able to customize the process allows MTI clients to save time and money.
Gone are the days when you have to settle for inferior finished products because the technology hasn’t caught up with your design requirements. With friction welding your design can become reality.
Friction welding is classified in four primary ways: Low-Force Friction, rotary friction, linear friction, and friction stir. These technologies are unique, efficient, and can be used as a custom solution for your next design concept, prototype, or finished project. Whether you’re looking for manifold tubing, lift screws, actuators, water pump shafts, or some other specially designed product, friction welding is a technique that results in forged quality bonds.
The Heart of the Process
So how do we do it? How do we take a custom concept and turn it into a finished product? It’s a thoughtful process that requires evaluation, assessments and in-depth testing. Through MTI’s friction welding process, we may also uncover new manufacturing efficiencies that will save you money and time. Here’s how we do it:
MTI’s Results Speak for Themselves
At MTI, we specialize in designing the highest quality custom parts to your specifications and technical requirements. Two of our clients, Harbison-Fisher and Federal Mogul asked us to help them with some custom work and together we developed customized solutions that exceeded all expectations. Below are a couple of case studies about their projects:
