Issues with this page

Hi, I don't know much about welding so I don't feel very confident fixing this page myself but it seems like there are a number of problems with this page. Firstly, it has poor grammar and there are many grammar errors, such as sentences with incorrect or missing punctuation. Secondly, item #15 in the table of contents is blank. The external links section has many sub-headings and doesn't seem to fit the standard for external links sections on Wikipedia, since they are meant to be kept to a minimum. The overall structure of the article is personally confusing to me. For example, sections like "Rotary friction welding for plastics" might fit better as a sub-section of "Types of materials to be welded" (though that section itself needs cleanup too). Also, the section "Low Force Friction Welding" seems very reliant on one source (EWI and Manufacturing Technology Inc. (MTI)) and that section doesn't seem very neutral. It almost reads as advertisement, or as a conflict of interest. Rorb lalorb (talk) 18:42, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

RFW Friction work... section needs work

I have started to copyedit, but it currently seems as though it might need a full re-write. For example it seems to repeat some concepts for which it previously links its wiki article.

If anyone else has experience with this, or the mathematics behind it, I would appreciate your input or simply that you edit as you can. Otherwise I will slowly try to re-write it. Emily.Owl (talk) 19:03, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

it's also using broken English.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 16:45, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

History Section Rewrite

I have completely rewriten the history section. The summary of my changes is the following: I have cut out a lot of content that seemed either unnecessary for a reasonable understanding of the topic (where further details can be found in the refrenced sources), removed content that referred to other types of friction welding (after ensuring that the material is mostly preserved elsewhere), removed a few sources (I think 1 or 2) that did not seem to support the claims they were referencing.

The most complete version of the History section, from before I started working on it, can be found here. If you feel that I have been too bold please feel free to add back content so long as it is relevant to the article, and please ensure it is properly sourced when you do so.

Many thanks, Emily.Owl ( she/her • talk) 13:58, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

"afret tensile test" > "after tensile test" ?

It seems obvious to me that "afret" should be "after". My change was nevertheless reverted. What am I missing? The concept of "afret tensile test" produces a total of 0 Google hits beyond this page. R. Henrik Nilsson (talk) 11:51, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

you're right that it should be "after", but what you changed was the name of a file, meaning the link no longer works. The file needs moved first.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 16:46, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
