Instead, the metal is heated and plastically deformed by a rotary and linear motion to create a solid connection. The process was developed in the 1990s by The Welding Institute (TWI) in the UK and is now used in various industries such as aerospace, automotive and shipbuilding.<\/p>\n<p>In friction stir welding, a rotating tool is pressed onto the contact surface between the parts to be joined. The friction between the tool and the metal generates heat, which softens the metal without melting it. The tool is moved along the contact surface, forming the metal and creating a firm connection.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3

Welding the cast housing and cover ensures a non-porous and medium-tight joint with minimal heat input.<\/p>\n<p>The integration of friction stir welding is generally possible in all SW machine series. The speeds and feeds for friction stir welding must be adapted to the axis forces of the machine. Independent Z-axes are recommended for multi-spindle welding. The use of single and multi-spindle machining centers allows upstream and downstream machining operations to be combined, thus significantly increasing efficiency compared to conventional friction
