I’m a bit confused with the lack of apparent heat in the process.. the other friction welding (without the stir) videos I’ve seen clearly show the parts heating up to cherry red. Does this process not involve the same temperatures?

Looks like it's best suited for high part count production. Making a dedicated jig for one-offs or short runs would be expensive. I'd like to see the bend test go the other way, so that the backside is put in tension. For that matter I'm curious why you didn't show the backside at all. Also looks like taking the seam to the edge is problematic.
@Stirweld12 күн бұрын
You are right, FSW is relevant for large batches or high added-value parts. We welded in partial penetration in this video, just for easy demonstration : feel free to contact us if you want to get full penetration and successful root bending examples. The tool must plunge and rise vertically, so run-in/run-out strips can be needed for edges management on the applications that requires it.

Yes, FSW of steel requires specific FSW tools with high strength materials and its applications remain limited. Regarding titanium, it is not yet FSWeldable.

I know it doesn't look like a weld in the traditional sense, but I can assure you that the plate is indeed welded and meets all quality control standards. Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process that uses frictional heat generated by a rotating tool to join materials without melting them. I invite you to check our playlist "Everything you need to know about basics principles of FSW" to learn more about the FSW technology: kzbin.info/aero/PLwJ69okrPX7A9cc1N8O3IAMVGTOSWZLQa I also invite you to visit our facilities to see the process in action and check the welding quality. 😊
@amitaimedanАй бұрын
Interesting, but how does it work? I see no heat.
@StirweldАй бұрын
It's normal; Friction Stir Welding doesn't reach the material's melting point. It's a "cold" welding process. The temperature initiated by the rotating FSW tool is high enough to soften the aluminum but not make it liquid, allowing the material to be joined together without melting. 😉
@user-ed2vu2zd8xАй бұрын
My guess is that the pressure load is low because of the small amount of flash, but the speed at which welded at 1:09 seems to be higher than 3 mpm unless you were fastforward. I know that defect-free cross-sections have not been reported so far in aluminum FSW welding at higher weld speeds than 2 mpm and under low loads, but have you solved this problem? That would be great! It's also a lap joint, and the plate looks pretty thick. It seems like it would be hard to avoid tunnel defects, even small ones, when welding at high speeds. As one who studies FSW, the fact that you welded these conditions defect-free is a wonderful thing... I have a question. The jig beside the rotating tool at 0:53 seems to be used to support the material to prevent gaps from forming even if it deforms during welding. When welding common materials (ex:6061-T6, 5083-O) into a lap joint, does the use of that jig make a big difference in the quality of the weld? I thought that the load from the plunging of the tool is enough to cause no problems during welding, but what difference does it make? If it's only your know-how, you don't have to answer. As someone who studies FSW tool geometry, your FSW skills make me want to work for your company someday. Your video is very impressive.
@StirweldАй бұрын
Thank you for all your kind remarks and comments. At 1:09, the video you see is not modified at all; we actually weld at a speed of 4 mpm. Although the cross section still presents a minor defect, a bending test confirms that the bond is correct. We are performing this lap weld between two 2mm thick plates. A mobile clamping can be relevant even when welding common materials. It mostly depends above all on the configuration of the parts to be welded. The load applied by the FSW tool cannot hold the parts together as the material is really soft in the weld. Please contact us to further discuss 😉
@geraldotomas8490Ай бұрын
Hello, my name is Geraldo. At minute 1:52, I see that the structure to be welded has some holes, perhaps made simply by a drill, what would be the reason for these holes in the structure to be welded? Is there any benefit? Also, is there any material on the function of these holes?
@StirweldАй бұрын
Hello, the little holes you see before welding are called tack-welding. It's done with the tip of the FSW tool and helps hold the cover in place for friction stir welding. Once the weld is complete, there's no more sign of these holes in the material!
