Instead of stocking expensive forged components in variety of different diameter and length configurations, standardized ends could be welded to the requiredsize rod, reducing component costs as well as physical inventory requirements.

Back To ApplicationsFriction Welding Applications for the Agriculture & Trucking Industries Friction welding is used extensively in the agricultural and trucking industries because the welds are of forged quality, with 100 butt joint weld throughout the contact area. Back To Applications. One example of this would be hydraulic piston rods, which have similarsize ends, but vary in rod diameter and length configurations, standardized ends could be welded to the requiredsize rod, reducing component costs as well as physical inventory requirements.

Instead of stocking expensive forged components in variety of different diameter and length configurations, standardized ends could be welded to the requiredsize rod, reducing component costs as well as physical inventory requirements.

This bond is strong enough to handle the high stress and torque required of heavy machinery components. One example of this would be hydraulic piston rods, which have similarsize ends, but vary in rod diameter and length configurations, standardized ends could be welded to the requiredsize rod, reducing component costs as well as physical inventory requirements. Other agricultural and trucking applications include front axle yoke shafts, rear axles, drive shafts, and gears.

Component costs can be significantly reduced by replacing expensive, totallyforged parts with forged ends welded to bar or tube stock, without reduction in quality.
