Our experienced engineering team is adept at leveraging the fundamentals of Friction Welding and Processing. Our knowledge lets us precisely manage the intricacies of Friction Stir Welding (FSW, ) Friction Extrusion (FE), and Refill Friction Stir Spot Welding (RFSSW). With a keen focus on materials science, we examine how materials change after being softened by friction, exploring their new characteristics and possibilities. Our approach ensures we can innovate and apply these materials in ways previously unimagined, unlocking the full possibilities of each project.
Leveraging our understanding of materials science, including behavior under frictional heat, to drive advancements in Friction Welding and Processing.
Tailoring solutions for FSW, FE, and RFSSW, including mechanical testing to ensure optimal welds and material performance.
Advising on design modifications for enhanced weldability, producing prototypes, and designing welding fixtures to streamline the path to production.
Sharing our expertise in friction-based processing through comprehensive training programs for your team, covering everything from equipment operation, programming, maintenance and safety.
Facilitating a smooth production ramp-up with startup support services, welding procedure optimization, and ongoing support. Bond shares your goal of technical and financial success, and stays engaged until that goal is achieved.
Creating custom welding tools designed for efficiency and reliability. From work holding design to Friction Stir Welding Tools, our tools enable precise, repeatable production processes.
Materials science is integral to everything we do at Bond Technologies. Our clients rely on us for our in-depth materials science knowledge. By comprehensively understanding how materials behave under the influence of frictional heat, we can innovate and apply FSW processes that exceed expectations — and meet the needs of advanced manufacturing and production environments. Our expertise in materials science is not just a part of our work—it’s the cornerstone of advancing friction welding technologies like Friction Stir Welding (FSW).
In the realm of Friction Welding and Processing, materials science plays a pivotal role in:
Bond develops procedures using in-house welding systems, or in collaboration with customers that operate Bond FSW systems. After developing tool designs and process parameters, we are able to validate material properties, tooling requirements, cycle time expectations and other information that helps clients prepare for scaleup to production. In our laboratory, we conduct design of experiments, produce weld procedure specifications and documentation that is openly shared with clients in order to support the most successful path forward.
Optimizing a product design for weldability is a service that Bond can help with. Our process experts can suggest product design changes to improve weldability. We can also design and build welding fixtures as needed to weld prototype parts or to confirm a joint design. We can even produce parts to allow a customer to do performance testing of prototypes before committing to a production launch.
Transitioning from prototype to full-scale production is a critical phase in your project’s lifecycle. Bond offers FSW consulting to help with welding procedure optimization, machine operation, technology training, and quality control support, for example. Bond can also assist with supplying welding tools on a regular basis.
Bond supports all of its products internationally. We offer remote support for software issues, making it possible to modify some machine controls quickly from a world away. Bond also offers on-site routine maintenance packages and calibration services to meet the customer’s needs. As needed, Bond can have service technicians on-site to make repairs, replace worn items, and diagnose problems.
Our commitment to our clients extends well beyond the sale. Whether its remote software support and on-site maintenance or designing custom welding fixtures, our goal is to ensure your success at every turn. With Bond, you gain a partner invested in the longterm success of your project.
At Bond Technologies, we’re more than just cutting-edge friction welding equipment providers. We’re your allies in innovation, dedicated to delivering solutions that elevate your manufacturing capabilities.
