Friction welding (FRW) is a solid-state welding process that generates heat through mechanical friction between work pieces in relative motion to one another, with the addition of a lateral force called "upset" to plastically displace and fuse the materials.

Linear Friction Welding: a solid-state process in which one part is chuck oscillates at a high speed, and then pressed against another part that is held stationary. The resulting friction heats the parts, causing them to forge together.
Branson (Emerson), Bielomatik, Crest Group, Daeyoung Ultrasonic and Dukane are the leading manufacturers of linear friction welders. Branson (Emerson) is the world's largest, with about 30% of the market. The top three accounted for about 50%.
China is the main production region, accounting for about 30%, followed by North America and Europe.
