Forge Bonding™ is based on friction welding, an older technology still used today in manufacturing. But, it’s a large floor standing piece of equipment that produces ignition sources. These…

Forge Bonding™ is a “welding with air” technology that avoids hot work by performing high-strength bonds with minimal thermal energy so that you never have to interrupt operations to make repairs. No ignition source is created and the automated machine used to perform the bond guarantees the thermal energy will never approach ignition levels. On…
