FSW -
friction stir welding
Precision meets strength: welding below the melting point.
Friction stir welding is a solid-state joining process in which workpieces are joined using a welding tool without melting the materials and without the use of additives. The friction between the rotating tool and the workpiece generates heat, allowing the material to become plasticized in the area below the FSW tool. Due to the high forces, pressure, and stirring movement of the tool, the components are welded together in a gas-tight manner. FSW is applied, for example, in the automotive industry for electromobility, in rail vehicles, and in the aerospace industry.

How to start
Things we do differently than others
We typically commence our process in the design phase to preemptively address potential challenges in FSW production and to optimize part preparation. Following the design freeze, we initiate the construction of an FSW-compatible fixture for series production. Consequently, it is crucial that the fixture adequately supports the part and withstands the high forces encountered during FSW. Once the fixture is ready, we commence the FSW process.
The FSW process must be tailored to meet the requirements and unique features of each individual component. After configuring the process, you will receive approval samples, and the FSW process will be documented in the form of a WPS. Subsequently, the process can be replicated indefinitely, marking the commencement of production.
