About the 13th International Symposium on Friction Stir Welding
Sponsored and supported by the Joining and Welding Research Institute, Osaka University, the FSW Symposium will also combine as the Third International Joint Symposium on Joining and Welding.
This is a unique global forum providing the opportunity for professionals from around the world to share and develop scientific and technical knowledge on Friction Stir Welding. The event will include three days of oral and poster presentations.
The Symposium will be held in Kyoto, the former capital of Japan and the location of 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Kyoto is famous for its numerous classical Buddhist temples, as well as gardens, imperial palaces, Shinto shrines, and traditional wooden houses.
