Friction Stir Welding has a variety of different tool heads that can perform unique types of welds.
Designed for application in a wide variety of markets.
Can weld alloys including aluminium alloys, copper alloys, magnesium alloys, and many more.
Does not need additional supports for reverse side when welding.
Shaped bit is designed to eliminate the distinctive keyhole of a stir weld by gradually removing the bit from the material.
The bits (left) rotate while the shoulder (right) remains motionless, reducing the amount of excess heat generated by friction. This results in less thermal distortion of the pieces.
Higher weld strength and lower corrosion risk when compared to rivets.
