Torx or Studwelding

Can you explain a little more about the "torx" process? (Torx is also the name for an internal socket screw drive system shaped like a six-pointed star.)

Hello,

It is TOXING not TORXING, sorry for misspelled the word. Its a metal joining process by squeezing different parts.

below is the link to understand the process well.

Thanks

Metal can be joined simply by applying enough force. Swords have been made in this way for centuries, for example.

Looks like the TOX equipment would cost more than welders, maybe not.

It just depends on what you are trying to join, quantity, materials, etc.

If you already have the TOX equipment, welding will have the cost of new equipment to consider.

TOX would allow you to join dissimilar metals, welding would not, normally.

Talk to equipment sellers and get a cost per joint figure from them. Then, do the math.
