Known Materials That Can Be Friction and/or Inertia Welded...
Most of the following materials can be welded with the strongest joint or bond possible. Some of these materials, however, will form a weld that is not full strength, and possibly even brittle. Welding cast iron to cast iron is an example of this. If you know of any other materials that can be friction or inertia welded, please "Contact Us" so we can update this resource.
Note: PM = Powder Metallurgy
