Which one of the following is a solid state joining process?
A
Gas tungsten arc welding
B
Resistance spot welding
C
Friction welding
D
Submerged arc welding
Correct Answer: Friction welding
Friction welding (FRW) is a solid-state welding process that generates heat through mechanical friction between workpieces in relative motion to one another, with the addition of a lateral force called "upset" to plastically displace and fuse the materials
