Friction Stir Welding Machine SWING-FSW

Swinging the FSW tool expands the welding area in linear joints, enabling stronger, more reliable welds.

• A rotating cylindrical tool is inserted into the material and travels along the weld path to create a solid‑state joint.
• Friction and processing heat soften the material, which is then stirred and joined behind the tool without melting.
• Low temperature rise during welding reduces thermal distortion and material degradation.
• No vacuum chamber is required, allowing welding in a normal manufacturing environment.
• Friction stirring eliminates pinholes and produces a dense, defect‑free cross section.
• Microstructural refinement creates a more uniform and homogeneous material with improved properties.
