• The process is completed in a few seconds with very high reproducibility - an essential requirement for a mass production industry. Now, a new variant from the same stable of friction processes, ...

This car door was made stamped out of a blank of aluminum made up of a heavy-gauge piece of aluminum joined to a lighter-gauge sheet. The heavier metal was used on the right side of the door (white ...

A Combination of Techniques Leads to Improved Friction Stir Welding The NESC developed several innovative tools and ...

Friction stir welding joins previously unweldable materials. Friction stir welding, a relatively new process, is having a tremendous impact on welding dissimilar alloys. It was developed in 1991 by ...

The NESC developed several innovative tools and techniques during an assessment to find the root cause of poor tensile ...

Calip Group contributed its technical expertise through its FSW (Friction Stir Welding) welding process, enabling the precise manufacture of fully sealed cooling plates. "We adapted our industrial ...

Although some engineers have had success in spot welding steel and aluminum together, it has largely been considered impossible to achieve reliable, continuous welds directly between the two ...

Welding Handbook, Volume 3, reflects the dramatic changes brought into welding processes over the past decade due to the emergence of new welding techniques and advanced materials. Included are ...

To create the new iMac, Apple’s thinnest desktop yet, the designers used friction-stir welding to join the aluminum body. Unlike arc welding, the more standard way to fuse metal plates, a friction ...
