Abstract
Methods of joining dissimilar metal, non-cylindrical golf club components, and particularly golf club bodies and faces, using one or more solid state processes are disclosed herein. One method includes the steps of preparing a first non-cylindrical golf club component made of a first metal material, preparing a second non-cylindrical golf club component made of a second metal material that is different from the first metal material, and affixing the first non-cylindrical golf club component to the second non-cylindrical golf club component along a plane using a solid state joining process. Another method includes the steps of providing a golf club body with a first planar joining surface, providing a golf club face component with a second planar joining surface, and affixing the first planar joining surface to the second planar joining surface via linear friction welding, rotational friction welding, diffusion bonding, or ultrasonic welding.
