About Friction Stir Welding
Invented by Wayne Thomas at TWI in 1991, FSW overcomes many of the problems associated with traditional joining techniques. FSW is a solid-state process which produces welds of high quality in difficult-to-weld materials such as aluminium,and is fast becoming the process of choice for manufacturing lightweight transport structures such as boats, trains and aeroplanes.
