Democratizing Friction Stir Welding: High-Quality FSW at a Fraction of the Cost

by

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a distinctive solid-state joining process that diverges from traditional welding techniques, which often rely on melting materials.

Rather than using heat, FSW employs mechanical energy to fuse metals, delivering robust and pristine welds. Since its inception in the early 1990s, FSW has garnered the attention of industry experts, heralding a transformative phase in manufacturing.

Emphasizing precision and sustainability, FSW exemplifies how engineering advancements can revolutionize practices. [Read more…] about Democratizing Friction Stir Welding: High-Quality FSW at a Fraction of the Cost
