Educational Information

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process that uses a non-consumable rotating tool to generate frictional heat and plastic deformation at the weld location, creating a high-quality weld without melting the workpiece material.

Key Parameters:

  • Rotation Speed: Controls heat generation and material mixing
  • Travel Speed: Affects weld quality and production rate
  • Plunge Depth: Determines the level of engagement between the tool and workpiece
  • Tool Tilt Angle: Influences material flow and weld surface finish

Experiment with different parameter combinations to see how they affect weld quality. Pay attention to the relationship between heat generation, weld strength, and defect probability.
