Why Choose Percussion Welder?

Percussion Welders are unique in their function, due to the way they work they can join dissimilar metals without any damage or distortion caused to the metals in a way that would be more or less impossible using any other method. A Percussion Welder is irreplaceable when it comes to the joining of delicate materials, and being able to join the fine metals with no filler materials is where the Percussion Welder truly shines.

Welding Process

How Does Percussion Welder Work?

Percussion welding is completed in two simple steps. The first step involves heating the surfaces to which the weld will be applied, which it does rapidly, in 1 – 4 milliseconds. It is because it is so quick that there is an incredibly small risk of damaging or warping the surfaces, which is part of what makes percussion welders so perfect for the job.

The second step is the percussion phase of the weld, where the molten materials are pushed together in a single and rapid motion, creating a strong bond. Like the first step, the second step offers a very, very low chance of damaging any materials because, with this step, it is a very light pressure joining the dissimilar materials. It is often less than 100 grams of force, but the materials have been heated so efficiently that this is all that is required for the weld to take immediate effect. All this means that the most delicate of materials can be joined with little to no chance of damage or distortion.

Process Development

If you have a project that requires a unique or intricate micro welding solution, contact us and we will evaluate the application with you. Based upon the materials and weld specifications, we can evaluate whether Percussion Welder is a good fit for your project. Next we can perform a process evaluation to determine if the weld specifications can be achieved. With positive results from the Process Evaluation, the next step is Process Development. Usually this is done in the customer’s environment, however, if requested it can be performed at MTI MicroWelding.
