One the front loader, probably not (Us Fordies call it Timken or 'english' axle) but on the salisbury or rear-loaded quite possibly.  The salisbury axle for Escort I/II and Cortina I-V were friction welded.  It wasn't new then, but what is.
Apparently the Japanese (please forgive me if I'm wrong) built ships using electric arc welding before the war.  They sank due to fracturing in the heat effected zone around the welds, which don't give as easily as rivets did.

Isn't friction welding what you get when the grease on the wheel bearing doesn't to its job anymore :cry:

You then spend all that time trying to get the racer of the stub

Close Kev. It's nearly the same thing. Same principle anyway!!

I don't want to say where I heard this (some anti snoopers may already know), but this sounds interesting.

Steel has friction properties that can allow it to generate incredible heat levels.  Apparently, two pieces of steel, rubbed together in a vacuum, will weld together.  Hmmm.  Anybody know anything about this?

The name Lehr has been mentioned, but I thought he had something to do with glass.  Well, machines with the same name (Lehrs) are use to anneal glass (AFAICR).
