Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio research analysts predict the global friction welding machine market to grow at a CAGR of around 5% during the period 2018-2022, according to their latest report.

Researchers found friction can occur without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and does not always increase with load. The effect could enable controllable, wear-free technologies.

Friction welding provides manufacturers who are designing solutions for food processing applications a savings option in the cost of materials and choices for material properties such as strength and ...
