STIR WELDING

HAGE team beim planen
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) joins workpieces using a rotating special tool without the need for filler materials. The resulting frictional heat makes the material malleable without melting it, creating a homogeneous, high-strength joint as it cools. The process is particularly suitable for lightweight construction and is used in industries such as rail, aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, and plant engineering.
