Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a relatively new welding process, which was developed at The Welding Institute (TWI), United Kingdom, in 1991. FSW is a solid-state joining process, i.e. no melting occurs. The welding process is promoted by the rotation and translation of an axis-symmetric non-consumable tool along the weld centreline. Thus the FSW process is performed at much lower temperatures than the conventional fusion welding. Nevertheless the control of the temperature field is fundamental to guarantee a high quality mechanical joint (e.g. residual stress field).

Abstract
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a relatively new welding process, which was developed at The Welding Institute (TWI), United Kingdom, in 1991. FSW is a solid-state joining process, i.e. no melting occurs. The welding process is promoted by the rotation and translation of an axis-symmetric non-consumable tool along the weld centreline. Thus the FSW process is performed at much lower temperatures than the conventional fusion welding. Nevertheless the control of the temperature field is fundamental to guarantee a high quality mechanical joint (e.g. residual stress field).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
