Moog Inc., East Aurora, N.Y., and Thompson Friction Welding, Clinton Township, Mich., recently teamed up to develop the world’s largest linear friction welding machine. The new machine is capable of ...

Thompson Friction Welding'sE100 extends the use of linear friction welding through its ability to weld anarea nearly twice as large as previously achieved (a surface area of 10,000 mm 2).It also uses ...

• The E100 welds up to 15 in.2, applying 22,050 lb of force. • Moog hydraulics permit fast, high-amplitude motion, high flow rates, and quick recharge. • Linear-friction welding forms complex shapes ...

Linear friction welding welds materials together using heat from friction. After placing two materials into a welding machine they are then pushed tightly together. One of the two materials moves ...
