Friction Stir Welding
- The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) method is based on the principle of obtaining a sufficiently high temperature and pressure to join two components together by using a rotating tool, which under high pressure, moves along the joint and thereby creates a weld.
- FSW is ideal for joining straight profiles and flat plates from 1.2 to 130 mm (0.045 – 1.18 inch) with full penetration.
- Butt, lap and corner joints can be welded.
