    Friction welding of valvestems

    I can experiment with it and replicate the exact same conditions every time if i use a CNC mill. The forces involved with doing this on small parts will not brake the mill i belive. It will be worth it if i can do it. Guess it will by trial and error. How can i do the destructive testing...

    Friction welding of valvestems

    Does anyone have experience with this kind of welding on small parts? I need valves with very slender and long valvestems. The idea is to buy grinded rod that is the correct dimension and frictionweld it to a little slab (that would become the "business" end of the valve) that i later can put...

    The W-engine is a very complex engine in so many ways, but everything can be done in months.. or years... or decades.. :) The W8, W10, W12 and W16 has four valve technology and if you try to draw this engine in a 3D environment (inventor, solidworks, ironcad etc) you will soon find out that you...
