BOOST FOR NEW WELDING METHOD

Proven in aluminium shipbuilding, friction stir welding (FSW) technology is the subject of a multinational research project to extend applications to steel fabrication, writes David Tinsley.

FSW can deliver welds free of typical arc welding defects like porosity, solidification cracking and embrittlement.
