ODK has implemented friction rotary welding technology for serial production of aircraft engine parts This advanced technology reduces the weight of parts and increases the service life of aircraft engines without compromising the strength of welded joints. The first enterprise in the corporation to apply friction welding for serial production of gas turbine engine parts was ODK-Saturn. How it works One part rotates rapidly while the other is pressed tightly against it. The high temperature in the contact zone, generated by friction, creates a strong and reliable joint. Why it matters High quality: the technology ensures 100% defect-free parts at the weld seam. Speed: welding time is reduced by 10 times compared to other methods. Super capabilities: allows joining materials that are “unweldable“ by traditional methods, which is important for modern engines. For this breakthrough development, young specialists from ODK-Saturn became laureates of the prestigious Vladimir Revunov Awar... Source: East Calling
