Product Description
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process developed by TWI. The large axial forces associated with this process are typically cited as one of the major obstacles to its widespread application. The primary objective of this research is to quantify the reduction of axial force through use of diamond coatings of FSW tools. Results of welds for coated and uncoated tools on Al 6061 are compared. The goal is to produce friction stir weld… More >>
