Friction Stir Welding (FSW)
📒 Read Here 👇
➖➖➖➖➖➖
👉 FSW is a solid-state welding process that joins materials without melting them.
👉 FSW uses a unique, non-consumable rotating tool with a profiled pin. This tool is plunged into the joint line between two pieces of material.
👉 The friction generated by the spinning tool, combined with the pressure, softens the material.
👉 As the tool traverses along the joint, it mechanically stirs and forges the softened material together, creating a high-quality, defect-free weld.
✨ Advantages of FSW:
🔹Superior Weld Quality
🔹Low Heat Input
🔹Can effectively join materials typically difficult to weld with traditional methods 🤯
🔹Environmentally Friendly ♻️
🔹Energy Efficient
🚧 Disadvantages of FSW:
🔹High Initial Equipment Cost
🔹Limited to Certain Geometries
🔹Tool Wear
🔹Exit Hole
🔹Thickness Limitations
🎯 Use Cases & Applications:
FSW is making waves in industries demanding high-quality, lightweight, and strong joints!
🔹Aerospace ✈️
🔹Automotive (especially EVs!) 🚗
🔹Shipbuilding & Marine 🚢
🔹Railroad🚆
🔹Electronics 🛰️

How strong it that "weld"
I don’t know what I’m seeing
👀👀👀👀👀👀👍FSW is faster than me without melting..... 21century 😎
👍
👋🇲🇦
Of course not strong as welding
This will never make sense to me
@dave.lister.351756 check this type of welding out 😀
How is it spinning magnet on other side?
Let’s head to the comments to see what the experts have to say 😂
Ya let’s see the bend test 😭🫣
Hmmm, I thought it was a high speed process. This is really interesting.
Brand new BOEING 747
Definitely 0% penetration hahaha
No
