Met a machine of 32 years ago. If called INERTIA WELDER Made in USA and worked in Equipetrol, a Brazilian company that manufactured equipment for petroleum.
@Sprengstoff The inside of the tube is smooth. The centrifugal force of the welding process forces the bead outside. Smoothest and most effective weld there is!
Rotation is rotation, and friction is friction. In any place where the metal touches it will be wielded together. If u are referring to the "shaving", I don't think a bulge inside would bother anyone.
+byrysh I would assume they have some sort of machine to remove that debris. In the description there is something called a internal flash remover so that might do that. Or perhaps the inside of the pipe have a concave section to make room for the weld slag. Just speculation.
That has got to require serious HP to generate the necessary friction and the hydraulic pressure to force the tool joint and the pipe stem to weld together w/o outside material or energy.
Yeah that might be removed in another machine or it doesn't really matter since the ridge might create negligible friction of the fluid inside the pipe.
really cool, or actually pretty hot :) But what happens on the inside of the tube? will there not be a bulge og ridge in there that will constrict the flow through the pipe?
hey guys yes thats lava thats why its call carbon steel material the weld machine gets the tool joint (box or pin) and once it reaches the rebolutions set on the computer for that particular grade then after pipe and tooljoint are band together as shown on video the OD ring is removed such as the ID OD=OUTSIDE DIAMETER ID=INSIDE DIAMETER then is send to the temper machine to recover its grade because the grade gets lost with that high heat then they quench to cool down then agter they will sand the OD and ID as well prior NDE inspection which is ultrasound and wet magnetic inspection these NDE=none destructive examination will determine if its agood or bad weld since UT will find any crack on ID OR OD surface such as the wet mag then after its check with an aligment gage for straightness level personnel will cut a piece of weld for the laboratory test wich consist on bend, stretch, and bracking test once is passed that pipe will never -never brake during the drilling procedure ok well alot more to say but is hard to explain everthing on here bye guys good luck
At least they trim off that ooze from the outside. (Why do they squeeze out so much material?) What about the ooze on the inside? Friction welding would be great for all kinds of pipe, if not for the ooze on the inside.
+xXzeTaco49Xx the centrifugal force definitly i have seen this live in action and i asked them th very same question. they told me i could look on the inside of the pipe and from what i could see it was rater straight (maiby a slight dent) but its pretty straight forward
the length of the drill pipe is around 30 to 40 ft... hw we join that much big leght pipe by friction welding... can u give me any explanation about that.... thank u......
To add to David's comment, it's easier to use stock piping that you can manufacture by the bulk and put each customized end on as you need rather than having to cast each whole part individually. Each different part would require a unique mold, which gets expensive when the factory has to retool for each one. This way you can mix and match the interchangable parts/ends without as much retooling.
+Bill Killernic Very few things are cast in applications like this. They are forged or billet to begin with and then machined to shape. Welding allows a forged machined spline drive adaptor to be welded to one end of a pipe. Then a drill shank or a threaded pipe coupling or whatever to the other end. Making one part with all the required properties at the right point. This is friction welding and used exclusively to at least one of the components being round. Allows hi precision as far as run out and has a minimal heat affect zone.
Well, imagine having a piece of papee with pencil marks. You now want to get rid of them. In order to do that, you take your eraser and rub it against your paper wich generates friction between the paper and the rubber, therefor the paper and the rubber get warm, its the same when you are rubbing your hands against each other in winter in the hope to get them to be warmer. The same happens with two pieces of metal, the one is being held in place while the other one is being rotated and pressed fermly against the other piece wich than generates so much heat that the pieces of metal begin to meld. Once theres molten metal the mashine can be stopped for the metal to cool down and taaadaaa you've got yourself two welded pieces of metal. Sry for mistakes in the writing, english isnt my native language and I am just trying to help here since I am interested in the subject myself and was clueless at first glence too :)
I have welded with SMAW, MIG, TIG and Oxy-Acetylene. That looks like an amazingly perfect weld. Very impressive.
why is this so satisfying to watch?
Because it is
Located Ostrich O really? I thought it wasn't. derrr. It was a rhetorical question bud.
It's amazing what you can achieve with brute force and a little science.
I'm in the machineporn part of youtube - again...
this comment says it all
That red hot tagliatelle pasta was my favorite part.

Fascinating to watch, thanks for posting.

A quick pass with a boring bar would clean up any weld material inside the I-D.
In the description it says "Extra machine features include internal flash removal ".
I consider myself pretty handy with a MIG but I gotta hand it to these guys. that's one tidy weld
@BUNGLEJYME yes you can, and it's the best way to do it. you can weld even copper to aluminum, titanium to copper, and nickel alloys to other steels.
Rotation is rotation, and friction is friction. In any place where the metal touches it will be wielded together. If u are referring to the "shaving", I don't think a bulge inside would bother anyone.
The inside can either be removed on another machine to be drilled out or on the Friction Welder using oxygen and nitrogen.
It actually is welding though. Resistance welding also requires no filler and it's still "welding"
can't imagine how massive the torque that machine has
The braking to stop it too...
Usually they have a massive flywheel and the motor is detached when the welding starts
Good to view this video. Absolutely an amazing machine.
I wonder what the inside looks like. If its only for drilling ok then but if you want fluid transfer quite a restriction i would think.
+byrysh I would assume they have some sort of machine to remove that debris. In the description there is something called a internal flash remover so that might do that.
Or perhaps the inside of the pipe have a concave section to make room for the weld slag.
Just speculation.
+Blue Internal flash renover,yup that would do it
Yep we shear the ID flash. Its all in the cycle, the shear tool is mounted on a mandrel in the centre of the chuck.
you learn something new everyday
That's the most badass lathe I've seen. But how did I get from tantric massage to friction welding pipe?!
+FuriousFilipino they both involve friction and laying pipe
But would interfere with wireline conveyed tools (example: free-point and gyro tools). An inside reamer must be done later I'm sure.
That has got to require serious HP to generate the necessary friction and the hydraulic pressure to force the tool joint and the pipe stem to weld together w/o outside material or energy.
Yeah that might be removed in another machine or it doesn't really matter since the ridge might create negligible friction of the fluid inside the pipe.
I work company 32 years ago thad do it. The machine named INERTIA WELDER. The machine made USA and the company was EQUIPETROL
really cool, or actually pretty hot :) But what happens on the inside of the tube? will there not be a bulge og ridge in there that will constrict the flow through the pipe?
I wonder if this creates a brittle heat affected zone at the weld point.
So then do they have to machine the inside as well? It seems like that would require more specialized equipment.
why does watching stuff like this make my brain go "sweet jesus yes"
yes, and if so, how would it be removed? through a similar shaving process?
I'm not sure if that is as important as the amount of pressure applied on the surfaces. Sadly, I can't answer your question.
That sure beats the hell out of 5G and 6G stick welding!
I imagine the centripetal force may prevent that from happening?
hey guys yes thats lava thats why its call carbon steel material the weld machine gets the tool joint (box or pin) and once it reaches the rebolutions set on the computer for that particular grade then after pipe and tooljoint are band together as shown on video the OD ring is removed such as the ID OD=OUTSIDE DIAMETER ID=INSIDE DIAMETER then is send to the temper machine to recover its grade because the grade gets lost with that high heat then they quench to cool down then agter they will sand the OD and ID as well prior NDE inspection which is ultrasound and wet magnetic inspection these NDE=none destructive examination will determine if its agood or bad weld since UT will find any crack on ID OR OD surface such as the wet mag then after its check with an aligment gage for straightness level personnel will cut a piece of weld for the laboratory test wich consist on bend, stretch, and bracking test once is passed that pipe will never -never brake during the drilling procedure ok well alot more to say but is hard to explain everthing on here bye guys good luck
the tupe is already bigger ended? how is that done? Is it rolled or extruded with bigger ends?
good video
sir can u send other friction welding of drill pipe video
no because the ends are shaped like a V, all gunk and junk forms on the open side of the weld.
no, centrifugal force drives everything to the outside
Does it have a bead on the inside as well?
At least they trim off that ooze from the outside. (Why do they squeeze out so much material?) What about the ooze on the inside? Friction welding would be great for all kinds of pipe, if not for the ooze on the inside.
Pretty sure centrifugal force throws all the ooze outwards. Or they just scrape it off like they did the outside with a shear inside the pipe
+xXzeTaco49Xx the centrifugal force definitly
i have seen this live in action and i asked them th very same question.
they told me i could look on the inside of the pipe and from what i could see it was rater straight
(maiby a slight dent)
but its pretty straight forward
cool friction weld bro
That gives me some goosebumps!
So the two pieces are considered to be one after the everything stops?
yes
Shaving part is the best!!
and as it is on the inside it reduces the inner diameter?
the power of friction..?
the length of the drill pipe is around 30 to 40 ft... hw we join that much big leght pipe by friction welding...
can u give me any explanation about that....
thank u......
The 38' shaft of the pipe is held still while they weld the tool joints on either ends of the pipe.
Thats pretty awesome right there.
would that same bulge at the join also happen on the inside?
PERFECTLY PERFECT..
its a form of forging guys
Wonder if it sounds as bad as I can imagine?
This was so loud I had to turn down the volume.
+Menacing Moto I became deaf.
+Menacing Moto I got no sound.
Haha it was a joke man, there isn't any audio
O ok lol
+Owen Chase science channel O.o...
can friction welding used to join two hollow pipes ?
Amit Srivastava yes, even if they are of different dimensions or material grade.
240p or 144p? What year is this?!?
Is that how you got those scars?
This is beautiful.
@robietrav actly its quite new actly, around in 1990's.. but i learn it in my cluz.. : )
I want to buy this machine
Solid State Welding look !!!
that was just beautiful.
manufacturing chuck norris "grade" things has gotten more interesting through the years...
No, All of that bulge is FROM the inside. Where else would the material go?
Not really welding if there's no filler metal, still cool though!
Where can I download this song?
+CableWrestler It's called Darude - Sandstorm. You should be able to find it anywhere.
+AP12uZvfvag
0/10 obvious troll is obvious.
+CableWrestler Oh ok. Fine then. If you listen carefully, you will see that the song pretty closely matches John Cage's 4'33".
Well played sir.
Why is it better to weld to seperate parts instead of casting a single part?
cost
To add to David's comment, it's easier to use stock piping that you can manufacture by the bulk and put each customized end on as you need rather than having to cast each whole part individually. Each different part would require a unique mold, which gets expensive when the factory has to retool for each one.

Allows hi precision as far as run out and has a minimal heat affect zone.
Different parts need different properties, so can't be made out of the same material.
That was awesome!
Wow. That is amazing.
Cool or should i say hot?
thanks for the tips
but due to the compression on it, inside should also have bulge
Look at dem glowing spaghetti
I see KUKA robotic arms. :3
how come i ended up watching this
Illuminati
Wider heat affected area
Wow technology is amazing
i made this and set off my fire alarm lol i used liquide butain for zippos and it worked alrighte but the alcohol works better
If it's hollow - yes
Good question.
Wow, that's fucking awesome.
Why so serious?
so thats how they make chuck norris' q-tips...
I don't understand this kind of welding.

+Bobby Xie
Friction make hot. Hot make sticky. Sticky make weld.
dude thats sick
Yes. I don't want to sound like an a-hole but obviously it would.
Yeah Buddy, I got these scars from Friction Welding
Who cares if there's a bulge inside... it's drill pipe. And no the rotation does not move the metal to the outside only one piece turns.
Thanks :) Any chance to learn something new, you know?
BRAVO ! ! ! ! ! !
centrifugal force would take care of that,
...only one piece turns.
neat
mindfuk
touch it...
Iam a Level-II Inspector
interesting
its a 2008 video
hey guys
Trippy....
This would be a fucked up way to die
which part of "this", numbnuts?
