Friction Welding Service 1

[Carburize]

Looking for a possible friction welding contractor in the Houston area - any leads?

I haven't heard of one in Houston. You would think there would be with all the work around there. I did have one that was in Louisiana but the link is dead. The two that I’m familiar with are
American Friction Welding Inc and Spinweld Inc. I know American is in Wisconsin and think Spinweld is also.
They were quite a few people in it a one time but I haven’t seen much activity other than seeing a few parts that have been friction welded.


Here is website with locator service.

Carburize,

Please see the FAQ Internet Resources on FSW (faq725-478). There is a lot of good information to search through.

Thanks "MLoew" however, I am not interested in FSW I just need a local source for conventional FW of cylindrical sections.
