Friction Stir Welding: Joining/Welding Technology for Aluminium in Tu-val, also for small and medium size batches
Friction stir welding (FSW) stands as a groundbreaking advancement in the realm of joining technologies. Developed in 1991 by The Welding Institute (TWI) in the United Kingdom, FSW has since revolutionized the welding landscape, particularly for materials that prove challenging to weld using conventional methods like aluminium.
The FSW Process
FSW is a solid-state joining process, meaning the materials being welded do not melt during the process. Instead, frictional heat generated by a rotating tool softens the materials, which are then joined under mechanical pressure. This results in a high-strength, defect-free weld.
Key Advantages
Applications
FSW finds applications across a wide range of industries:
Conclusion
Friction stir welding represents a significant technological advancement in the field of materials joining, offering unparalleled benefits in terms of strength, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. With its versatility and superior weld quality, FSW continues to drive innovation across various industries, shaping the future of manufacturing.
