Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining technique that has transformed the manufacturing landscape since its inception in the early 1990s. This eco-friendly and highly efficient process, ...

Newswise — A spinning tool plunges into two pieces of metal, rotating at a high rate of speed. As the tool begins to move, it softens and mixes the metal, creating a powerful weld—one that can ...

Uncover the latest and most impactful research in Friction Stir Welding and Processing of Metal Alloys. Explore pioneering discoveries, insightful ideas and new methods from leading researchers in the ...

You’d think writing for Hackaday means we probably don’t get surprised very often by projects… but then we see something we never thought was possible — in this case, the linear friction welding of ...

Friction stir welding (FSW) tools refer to the instruments that adjoin metal substrates in the FSW process. Specifically, FSW tools feature: a rotating pin to create a butt joint between workpieces a ...

Researchers have shown that axial force and torque signals during friction plug welding can reveal hidden defects and predict ...

Hexagon positions its hardware and software as a cornerstone of an interconnected world, with demos involving everything from racecars to golf to espresso.
