Process Development 

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

Percussion Welders are unparalleled in their ability to join dissimilar metals without causing damage or distortion. Unlike traditional methods, our technology ensures that even the most delicate materials are joined seamlessly, making it irreplaceable for intricate applications. The true brilliance of Percussion Welding lies in its ability to create strong, precise welds without the need for filler materials, preserving the integrity of the metals.

With positive results from the process evaluation, we move to process development. This phase is typically conducted in your environment to ensure seamless integration. However, if preferred, it can be performed at MTI MicroWelding.

The Perfect Solution for Your Welding Needs

Percussion Welder is the perfect solution for projects that require precision, reliability, and minimal risk of material damage. Our advanced technology ensures that even the most challenging welding tasks are handled with ease, providing you with strong, clean welds every time.

First, the surfaces to be welded are carefully positioned with a pre-defined gap. This alignment ensures that the materials are in the optimal position for the welding process. Proper positioning is crucial to achieving a high-quality weld.

The second step involves rapidly heating the surfaces to be welded, taking only 1 to 4 milliseconds. This ultra-fast heating process minimizes the risk of damaging or warping the materials, making it ideal for delicate and intricate welding tasks. The rapid heating ensures that the materials reach the optimal temperature for welding without prolonged exposure to heat, which could cause distortion.

In the third step, the molten materials are brought together with a swift, light pressure in the percussion phase. This motion creates a robust bond without the need for excessive force—typically less than 100 grams. The efficiency of the heating process means that this minimal pressure is sufficient to form a strong weld, ensuring that even the most delicate materials are joined without risk of damage.

Finally, the weld is inspected to ensure it meets quality standards. This may involve visual inspection, mechanical testing, or using advanced monitoring systems like the Percussion Weld Monitor. This step ensures that the weld is strong, clean, and meets all required specifications.

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.

If you have a project that requires a unique or intricate micro welding solution,

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.
