Abstract
The process for metallically connecting the faces of rods. Axially normal dressing at least two rod free ends, then placing the cross sectional surfaces of the rod free ends one against another under pressure. Oscillating the two rod free ends in the opposite direction to one another, whereby frictional heat is generated on the contact surfaces of the rod free ends. Further, when the conditions for a metallic connection are met, the rod free ends are axially aligned and the pressurization of the cross sectional areas is increased. Resulting in the rod free ends being connected to one another over the entire surface. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
