Abstract
A component holder for a friction welding apparatus has upper and lower clamp members which can be urged towards each other in order to clamp between them a component to which second or further components are to be friction welded. The first component is held in the component holder substantially entirely by friction clamping forces. The component holder is particularly suited to use with friction welding apparatus in which the component holder is carried by an angularly reciprocable workpiece mounting member.
