Friction Stir Welding (FSW), is a welding process that creates a strong bond between two metal parts without producing molten metal. Instead, the metal is heated and plastically deformed by a rotary motion and a linear motion to create a strong joint. The process was developed in the 1990s by The Welding Institute (TWI) in the United Kingdom and is now used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive and shipbuilding.<\/p>\n

Friction stir welding involves pressing a rotating tool onto the contact surface between the parts to be joined. The friction of the tool with the metal generates heat that softens the metal without melting it. The tool is moved along the contact surface, forming the metal and creating a strong joint.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
