Products

  1. Friction Welding:

  2. My largest client is MTI and I have a non-compete and a non-solicitation agreement with them through May of 2012.

    However I can:
    • Help you make suggestions as long as the information is available in the public domains and my services are not competing with MTI.
    • Advise you on joint designs, material selections, does and don’ts for Friction Welding, parameters, and machine size, which process to use, acceptable tolerances and tooling suggestions.
    • I can put you in touch with contractors or people who may be able to help you if MTI declines to offer you a solution for your problem.
    • I can suggest institutions, which specialize in computer simulations and basic friction welding research. If you need formal Research and Development in choosing materials or finding parameters, failure analyses or “expert” opinions, I will suggest contacts for you.
