Advantages & Benefits
Building Strength in Construction and Agriculture
FWT’s friction welding solutions are revolutionizing the construction and agriculture industries. Our advanced technologies deliver superior quality, efficiency, and sustainability, empowering manufacturers to create more durable and eco-friendly equipment.
Forged Quality
As friction welding creates a 100% solid-state bond as opposed to traditional welding processes, the end product is of forged quality. This results in a longer useful life span and reduces wear and tear after excessive use, contributing to savings on your bottom line. The end result is a product that retains most if not all parent material properties, a bond strong enough to handle the stress and torque required of heavy machinery components.

The construction and agriculture industry require high precision and quality components. Friction welding ensures consistent, high-quality welds with minimal human error, enhancing the durability and reliability of equipment. This automation improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs. It also increases safety by reducing the need for manual welding in potentially hazardous environments.
Friction welding is an eco-friendly technology that does not emit smoke, fumes, or gases. Friction welding does not require consumables such as flux or filler material, reducing your carbon footprint all the way down your supply chain as less material and energy is used.
Our Commitment
Quality is at the core of our innovation
With an in-house innovation team and a substantial investment in R&D, we continuously set new industry standards in quality, systems, and best practices. Our commitment to excellence is reinforced by our ISO 9001:2015 certification. For customers in Europe, FWT machines are designed and manufactured to fully comply with European safety requirements for CE.
Friction Welding Machines for Agriculture and Construction
Consistent quality welds are crucial in agriculture and construction. For example, a butt joint must have a weld of 100% contact area to handle the high stress of torque. This is essential for components in irrigation systems and construction machinery.
Friction welding ensures a full surface weld of superior strength even if materials are not conventionally compatible for welding through other methods. And with automation for your friction welding machine, quality is consistent from the first part to the last. FWT is a leading manufacturer of direct drive machines, serving domestic and international clients.
