Introduced in the 1990s, FSW harnesses the heat generated by mechanical rotation to mix and bond materials without reaching their melting point. This approach offers numerous advantages, such as enhanced structural integrity and reduced energy consumption, while finding applications in diverse sectors from aerospace to automotive. Let's discover!   CONFERENCE 2 #### **WELDING PARAMETERS AND QUALITY CONTROL** To guarantee the success of your friction stir welding operation, it is imperative to master these four essential parameters: - FSW tool geometry, - FSW vertical force in kN, - Rotational speed measured in RPM, - Feed speed in mm/min. Let's take a look at how to optimize your welding parameters and control the quality of your welded parts. --- PRACTICAL INFORMACION ## PLAN YOUR TRIP - #### How to get to Stirweld Inc.?
