Grenzebach Group, the Germany-based industrial systems manufacturer, is restructuring its operations to carve out its Additive Manufacturing and Friction Stir Welding divisions into independently ...

It is a thermomechanical finite element simulator that runs up to 10,000 times faster than any comparable solution currently ...

BYU manufacturing engineering professor Yuri Hovanski and a few of his research students discuss friction stir technology and its impact in the industry. (Anna Wilson) BYU manufacturing engineering ...

A spinning tool plunges into two pieces of metal, rotating at a high rate of speed. As the tool begins to move, it softens and mixes the metal, creating a powerful weld—one that can securely join ...

Friction stir welding (FSW) is not necessarily a new welding process, but the implementation of it was slowed significantly ...

A breakthrough achieved at a lab in the United States could bring friction stir welding to assembly lines. The technique involves the use of a spinning tool to generate intense levels of deformation ...

Friction stir welding (FSW) and its allied technique, friction stir processing (FSP), are solid-state methods that unite and modify metal alloys through a rotating, non-consumable tool which generates ...
