Forge Welding Machine

The machine is used for forge welding processes. Forge welding is a solid state welding process that involves heating and applying pressure on two or more pieces of metals and then hammering them together. The welding process produces permanent distortion at the metal interface.The technique can be used for welding both similar and dissimilar materials.

Welding Process
Forge welding is considered as the oldest of all metal welding process and is not in much use these days.Forge welding between similar materials is accomplished by solid-state diffusion. The process involves producing a weld that only consists of the materials and not any fillers or bridging materials.

For welding dissimilar materials, the forge welding process involves the formation of a lowest possible melting temperature between the materials. Because of this, various dissimilar metals are welded together resulting in superior properties of the weld.

Uses & Applications
The forge welding technique is an older welding process and has limited industrial applications. Some of the areas where it is used are:

• Steel industry
• Jewellery fabrication
• Fabrication work
• Metalworking
