oh not at all, i think a lot of us are guessing to some extent, a topic often widely debated here. All this information is fantastic to see and encourages us to look in corners we hadn't followed up for a while. I for one wasn't aware quite how big the friction welding market was until these posts led me to do a little more research. That same research has also made it clear that IPQA is most definitely suited to friction welding. It all bodes very well for Sigma's technology. I can only assume as i mentioned that Sigma have chosen their near term partners to perfect the technology, and then will unleash it to the wider market once established at GE. (They must have some advantage for 'joint development'. Either way the revenues should be coming thick and fast.
Side note, that Herringaid video show also showed that IPQA had proven successful in:
Gas Tungsten Arc
Hot Wire GTAW
Gas Metal Arc
Friction
Friction Stir
Linear Friction
Inertia friction
Magnetic Arc
Laser Beam
Precision Turning
Robotic Surface Brushing
in reference to a conversation that went on yesterday.
Great DD tonight, thanks to all
