What Is Magnetic Pulse Welding? A Complete Guide to MPW Technology

A welder in protective helmet and gloves welds a clamped metal workpiece on an industrial table, with bright sparks and smoke in a workshop.

Magnetic pulse welding (MPW) is a solid-state welding process that joins metals through a high-speed electromagnetic impact instead of melting them. It is most useful for dissimilar metals, such as aluminum to copper or aluminum to steel, where heat can cause distortion, cracking, or brittle reaction layers. In this guide, we’ll explain how MPW works, […]
