You had me at the music intro. It actually has a lot of bass where my sub was actually getting turned on. That said, I stayed for the welding process. I've seen another type of friction welding that uses extreme heat to fuse two pieces together. Very fascinating bonds....
7:53 I love how he purposely puts his hand over the hole left where the bit terminates the weld. That is one downside to using this process. Unless you have a way to terminate outside of the parts, you're left with a large hole where the bit terminates at.
Developed by Nicholson Industries in the U.S. to weld the Space Shuttles Solid Rocket Boosters in the mid 90's, my step dad worked for them in New Zealand. Not used to its full extent but he says it fuses the two metals together, no HAZ and no defects.
Baby your my earthquake haha. Hey nice video sir I was amazed and I have an idea now what to answer when my professor asks who knows another way of welding. Friction sir. !! Thanks.
so this basically rubbs the materials together with heat from friction right? kinda plasticizes the surface of the metals allowing them to be smeared into one piece. quite interesting.
wow thats quite amazing in my highschool shop classes we learn to weld but i wonder if we will ever get to friction welt it seems very interesting. I have a question they say friction welding doesn't reduce the properties of the metal unlike welding but doesn't friction welding also heat up the material which also alters its characteristics?
really a eco-friendly welding process. can we weld two dissimilar materials as aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys ? cause i thought to do dissertation on this topic.
Its an amzing video...n its helpful 2me for my Projct..i jus wanted 2 knw a more on designing of the Pin and shoulder used in this process..if someone has the idea please share it here.it would be a great help
Is it true that this process can be used to weld dissimilar metals that cannot be welded by other processes? I was told that welding aluminum to brass can actually be done this way....
Wow. Setting up that driveshaft "welder" must take a long time since you have to connect it to the "welder" by inerting u-joint caps and probably snap-rings (inside the yoke) to "load" it in the machine.
I think this would fall under "proprietary information". They didn't just stumble across those parameters, they likely had to set up a design of experiments to ascertain that info. I spent a few years doing just that.
Why at 7:55 you intentionnally cover the remaining hole of the tip with your hand?? It is also covered at the beginning of the welding by the clamps....
A good rule of thumb when it comes to video of machinery: No one who is interested in watching this kind of super awesome machinery on TH-cam is interested in listening to horrible elevator music. Either get a decent sound recording from the machine (after all, it is part of the experience) or keep the video quiet.
First of all why do they need the pin in the middle? If they would work smart then it would have been made out of layered pipes you could retract so to not get that hole at the end, or simply have that pin pop back in adding some filler material at completion.
If Doug W can reply to all the other stupid questions about welding dissimilar metals, how using CNC to do this is functionally the same, but blah blah forces.... Why cant he take a second to answer this? This seems more important to my knowledge then the rest of these questions.
A narrator has to speak and tell lies about this "welding" process. Those lies have to be written by somebody at the company. All claims are being made by "institutes" and "schools" that are pushing this technology or the "narration" is computer-generated. That's to try to avoid liability "issues". Both civil and criminal. This technology is a fraud and its used in the manners and industries its supposedly PERFECT for, people will eventually die as a result of those lies that are told now.
Whats up with the copper tube hanging down by the spindle in some of the clips? Oh wait. That's the coolant pipe that would be flowing coolant if this "welder" were in its original form and being used for its original purpose as a CNC MACHINE. Do you really think machine tools are made for those kinds of side loads and thrusts? They're not. At least not the machines that would normally be handling work this size doing machining on the same parts. And even big CNC mills are going to wear out faster and use a whole lot more electricity than any conventional welding equipment would. Somebody has to be doing all the work setting up the machines and programming them and repairing and maintaining and servicing them, too. And of course picking up the pieces and cleaning up the mess when they "crash".
Seriously, you think this method of welding is taking jobs away from human welders? Welding isn't just Stick/tig/mig/torch. It goes well beyond that to laser, electron beam, friction stir, ultrasonic etc. Processes that each have different applications in different fields for different materials. And many of those processes cannot be performed by humans simply due to the nature of the process. Before acting like an ignorant fool, educate yourself about the process before criticizing it.
Uh, how is a joint "welded" and by a process that in SOME propaganda claims "no material loss" ending up stronger than the base metal parts welded if its smeared into a "bond" and how is there "no material loss" with that smeared/melted metal showing up on top of the "weld". And you can stop lying about how this doesn't "melt" the base metal. There is no other way to joint two pieces of the same metal than to "bond" them by melting the edges or surfaces together. They can be BRAZED together without melting but that requires a filler rod or solder made of a different material. And even then the base metal has to be heated sufficiently to open its "pores" or rather grain structure and the filler material melted to flow into the base metal via "capillary action". WELDING requires MELTING. Period. This process is either WELDING and is MELTING the material together which creates a "heat affected zone" just like any OTHER welding process or its a complete fraud and fake. The "bead" that the "tip" smears around may HIDE and DISTORT and POLISH the "heat affected zone", but it still exists. And there must be some POROSITY or at the very least and UNDERCUT at the "edges" of the weld on the surface because MATERIAL IS LOST.
it doesn't melt,,the material is plastically stirred together.. the process it self below the melting point, no porosity, undercut or whatever depending on the process parameters & no gas shielding needed. of course there are some material loss, the shoulder penetrates at least within 1 mm into the surface plus the volume of the pin, that you can see when the weld finished, it creates a key hole when the pin was retracted.

I can not really believe, that this weldind process actually works so well.^^
THANKS MAN,YOU SAVE ME,THIS IS ONE OF THE QUESTION ON MY EXSAM IN MONDAY..NICE VIDEO...
Thanks!! Now I got a more better idea of how this welding works!!
I'm a welder ans I have never seen this process before. It as an absolutely amazing technology.
Hey, as fascinating as the technology shown on the video is, I frequently come back just for the music.
Developed by Nicholson Industries in the U.S. to weld the Space Shuttles Solid Rocket Boosters in the mid 90's, my step dad worked for them in New Zealand. Not used to its full extent but he says it fuses the two metals together, no HAZ and no defects.
I think you will find that it was invented and developed by a Wayne Thomas in 1991 at the Welding Institute England.
+Sara Harris all welding processes which involve heat (including FSW) have a HAZ. FSW offers minimal HAZ, but not zero.
These automatic clamps are awesome.
I'm just here for the fuckin JAMS
this has completely made me re examine how i see metals now. this machine is awesome turns the metal into playdoh
That's pretty neat!
Baby your my earthquake haha. Hey nice video sir I was amazed and I have an idea now what to answer when my professor asks who knows another way of welding. Friction sir. !! Thanks.
Never even heard of it before.
What are the advantages of that process?
Very interesting technology...
Is there a weld material that is added? Or does this process just displace material from both pieces being welded? Very interesting!
so this basically rubbs the materials together with heat from friction right? kinda plasticizes the surface of the metals allowing them to be smeared into one piece. quite interesting.
Does the very tip penetrate the metal?
and if it does how does it make the weld
Invented in England in the early 90's at the Welding Institute, Cambridge.
wow thats quite amazing
in my highschool shop classes we learn to weld but i wonder if we will ever get to friction welt it seems very interesting. I have a question they say friction welding doesn't reduce the properties of the metal unlike welding but doesn't friction welding also heat up the material which also alters its characteristics?
can you pick up where you left off if you run out of the stick halfway through????
What do you do with the void created by the tooling on closed contours?
do you use a regular milling machine?
if you had a machine with more axes, would this work in 3D?
really a eco-friendly welding process. can we weld two dissimilar materials as aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys ? cause i thought to do dissertation on this topic.
Its an amzing video...n its helpful 2me for my Projct..i jus wanted 2 knw a more on designing of the Pin and shoulder used in this process..if someone has the idea please share it here.it would be a great help
Is it true that this process can be used to weld dissimilar metals that cannot be welded by other processes? I was told that welding aluminum to brass can actually be done this way....
does this process require a shield gas?
I dont get it it. Wont the bonding just occur on the surface but the interior remain seperated?
how thick of the sheet metal?
thats incredible
Hi, Would it be possible to weld Aluminum/Magnesium or Titanum Tube with this technique. I am thinking of making bike frame?
Wow. Setting up that driveshaft "welder" must take a long time since you have to connect it to the "welder" by inerting u-joint caps and probably snap-rings (inside the yoke) to "load" it in the machine.
Munty102 The answer to your question in no. The material gets mixed through!
why i can't see heat? It'a mechanic blend or?
that technique is great But will it Blend?
it will
I think this would fall under "proprietary information". They didn't just stumble across those parameters, they likely had to set up a design of experiments to ascertain that info. I spent a few years doing just that.
Why at 7:55 you intentionnally cover the remaining hole of the tip with your hand??
It is also covered at the beginning of the welding by the clamps....
recently i've done some welding on an aluminum plate. I've encountered some splatter problem. can you give some tips on hw to prevent splattering.
Anti splatter spray, three times quickly.
amazing !
WHATS THE CURRENT WELD TECHNIQUE ON NITI(SHAPE MEMORYALLOY)
tnx 4 sharing!
hi, i am doing my phd in friction stit welding. i want to know latest investigation that can be done in this field
What about the big hole left at the end of each weld?
You just move it to an area that is solid and inert
Amazing... BTW its nice to see Sam Kinison in his day job before he got into comedy.

how did i get here?
I don't get it... it's making a hole all around the plate ,under the surface, and welding the surface only ???
No, it weld the complete sheet. The pin from the tool mix both parts together.
Do a Google search and you know how it works.
I hope that the account name change does not mean that Doug W has been fired.
Name of the tune??

EXELENTE....
not gonna lie, I kinda really like this music
7:50 he cover big hole by his hand -.-
This is used in the new iMacs :)
hello friends....
give me idea about friction stir welding related project ....
its mens best method..............
OMG You have got 2 be BSing me :O
If Doug W can reply to all the other stupid questions about welding dissimilar metals, how using CNC to do this is functionally the same, but blah blah forces.... Why cant he take a second to answer this? This seems more important to my knowledge then the rest of these questions.
dat music :)
Love the hat :D
What do you do with the remaining porn music not used?
weird that is works
narration would be nice. elavator music gets anoying.

what happens to the welding head? single use?
