摘要：The competitiveness among the manufacturers has been forcing the manufacturing processes to be eco-friendly so as to deliver products with lesser impact on the environment, energy demand and other resources consumption. In this regard, this article presents the unique environmentally friendlier aspects associated with an innovative welding process namely friction welding of tube-to-tube plate using an external tool (FWTPET). This process is capable of generating robust weld joints with lesser energy consumption. A comparative analysis of FWTPET with conventional tungsten inert gas welding process has been narrated.
