Due to a very low welding temperature, mechanical distortion is practically eliminated. There is a minimal Heat Affected Zone and an excellent surface finish.
The ideal solution to any process where high-speed, high-strength welding is required, with low distortion and superior joint strength, the Powerstir FSW process is effective on flat plates, cylindrical components and even components of irregular thickness and varying cross-section.
Offering far reaching opportunities for joining traditionally difficult to weld alloys, Powerstir friction stir welding machines offer precise position control, force control, load sensing, real-time data logging of weld parameters, seam tracking and height sensing.
