Close-up view of a friction stir weld tack tool. The bulkhead and nosecone of the Orion spacecraft are joined using friction stir welding. Joint designs. Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process that uses a non-consumable tool to join two facing workpieces without melting the workpiece material.
Friction stir welding. Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process that uses a non-consumable tool to join two facing workpieces without melting the workpiece material. Heat is generated by friction between the rotating tool and the workpiece material, which leads to a softened region near the FSW tool.
In friction stir spot welding, individual spot welds are created by pressing a rotating tool with high force onto the top surface of two sheets that overlap each other in the lap joint. The frictional heat and the high pressure plastify the workpiece material, so that the tip of the pin plunges into the joint area between the two sheets and ...
Friction stir processing (FSP) is a method of changing the properties of a metal through intense, localized plastic deformation. [ 2 ] : 7 [ 3 ] : 1117 This deformation is produced by forcibly inserting a non-consumable tool into the workpiece, and revolving the tool in a stirring motion as it is pushed laterally through the workpiece.
The oldest welding process in the world. Oxides must be removed by flux or flames. Damascus steel: Friction welding: 42: FRW Thin heat affected zone, oxides disrupted by friction, needs sufficient pressure Aerospace industry, railway, land transport Friction stir welding: 43: FSW A rotating non-consumable tool is traversed along the joint line

Dissimilar friction stir welding (DFSW) is the application of friction stir welding (FSW), invented in The Welding Institute (TWI) in 1991, [1] to join different base metals including aluminum, copper, steel, titanium, magnesium and other materials. [2] It is based on solid state welding that means there is no melting.
