U-Jin Tech Corp. was founded in 2000 as a manufacturer of machine tools and assembly automation. Based on its experience in the field of machine tools, the medium-sized company has manufactured more than 130 friction welding machines since 2009. U-Jin is a leading manufacturer of friction welding machines, trusted by its customers through constant technological development and thorough quality control.


Since 2015, U-Jin has been exporting to Europe with CE certification, and in December 2016 in won an export order worth 10 million US Dollars. The research centre associated with U-Jin has the objective to develop new products to deliver innovative products.
 
U-Jin has initially developed and manufactured hydraulic friction welding machines, and it built Korea's first CNC friction welding machine in 2012. The rapid growth is based on the development of technologies that meet the needs of its customers. U-jin's top priority in these rapidly changing times is: "The greatest value lies in passion for technology."

U-Jin's friction welding machines are manufactured in South Korea. They are of the highest quality and have one or two movable spindle heads each. They are used commercially in many places for welding cylindrical parts of all types.
 
AluStir, in cooperation with U-Jin, is able to carry out feasibility studies or contract manufacturing for you. For large quantities, we can advise you on machine specifications and machine procurement as well as on quality assurance.

Friction welded products

As friction welding operates below the melting point of the materials, even dissimilar material joints can be produced with high tensile strength. In many cases, the tensile strength of the bimetallic joint is higher than that of the softer base material.
