    Friction welding

    I found this interesting, welding by friction, never seen or heard of it. (it probably explains why we couldn't get out a rear axle from a BA falcon the other week, it welded itself in).

    Unlubricated wheel bearings tend to do that.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Rear trailing arms on the Deefer/D1 are friction/resistance welded.

    I have heard of things being friction welded by accident But this is something quite different.
    If you think about it there are heaps of applications where this could speed up production, Very Cool

    I seem to remember that it is used to weld some parts of Defender axle housings.

    Yep, the ends of the trailing arms on a RRC are friction welded on, as are the flanges on the front diff housing that the swivel balls bolt to.

    Many industries use this method. I have a mate in Indonesia that has a business doing it for oilfield drill pipes. He has it set up in a shipping container and goes to field locations to recondition the pipes. It is also used extensively in the plastics industry.
