Friction Stir Welding Tool for Aluminium, 10 mm Rotational Shoulder, 3 mm Pin

Description

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process that offers significant advantages over fusion arc welding methods when used for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals.
As Friction Stir Welding processes automatically regulates heat input and
never
melts the metal, the process
provides significant benefits
:
Reducing hydrogen porosity.
Removes the need for preperation of the base metal.
Eliminates overheating.
Reducing welding time.
Elimnates the need for sheilding gas.
Readily welds dissimilar metals.
The tool we offer here has taken this new industrial technology, used by major automotive manufacturers, and made it available to the common machine shop, weld shop, or garage. Simply load the tool into a vertical milling machine, such as a Bridgeport Series I, and start joining plates, bars, and other shapes in minutes.
Our tool is is precision machined from
AISI H13 tool steel
, choosen for its excellent toughness, and is effective at producing high efficiency
welds in extruded and cast
aluminum alloys
with minimal investment.
