🔍 What is Friction Stir Welding?
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is an advanced joining technique that relies on frictional heat to bond materials together without actually melting them. Instead, a rotating tool generates heat through friction, softening the materials at the weld interface and mixing them together in a solid state. This process creates a joint that is not only incredibly strong but also free from the common defects associated with traditional welding methods, such as cracks and voids. FSW offers several key advantages, including enhanced mechanical properties, like greater tensile strength and toughness, and significantly reduced residual stress, which leads to improved overall durability and performance of the welded structure.

Very interesting!
It seems like a good process. But looks like it's only limited to 2 dementional parts 🤔
Thank you for your feedback! Indeed, the process is currently focused on 2D parts. However, there are possibilities to explore adaptations or variations for more complex 3D parts, depending on the project’s requirements. I’d be happy to discuss this further if you’re interested.
It's good, but it's only useful for certain applications. I still see Robotic Welding as better choice 👍
FSW is versatile and valuable for many applications, such as low-pressure and vacuum tanks, train floors, shipbuilding, battery boxes, aluminum cold plates, busbars, flange assemblies, heat sink assemblies, and more! Robotic welding is a fantastic choice for numerous scenarios, which is why we've developed a specialized Friction Stir Welding spindle for high-payload robots. 😊

This is a video on welding? I thought i was in a jazz lounge.
Glad to hear you were comfortable watching the welding session. 🤗
interesting
Hi. What is the burst pressure??
Hello, thank you for your curiosity! We did not perform a burst test. However, calculations predict a maximum resistance of 11.5 bars.
it abgers ne he didnt go all yhe eay to the end
In Denmark in 2010 I rented an Audi. The front struts were FSW to my delight. A couple of years later made in USA Audi's were NOT using FSW on their front strut towers. Spot welding doesn't hold a candle to FSW on sheet metal. Subscribed.
I bet the stress imparted on the work is astronomical lmao
Actually, FSW tools are designed to minimize stress. The process doesn't melt the metal but rather mixes it mechanically, which reduces thermal stress compared to traditional welding! Thanks for your comment!
What kind of wizardry is this?
We like to think of it as a mix of science and a bit of magic! FSW is a fascinating process where the tool mixes materials without melting them, creating a strong bond. It's like modern-day alchemy! ✨ Thanks for your curiosity!
try to weld a pipe with that or do some work in a tight space ?
❤🎉
You mentioned that a special clamp is needed for welding, but not the humungous machine that makes it happen.
That looked like a very unhappy spindle with huge deflections when it first started to penetrate the work. That's not going to do it a lot of good.
Félicitations pour cette belle réussite !!
Merci, Philippe. Nous sommes très heureux et fiers de contribuer à cette aventure 😊.
interesting. does it still work for powder metallurgy produced materials?
Yes. No problem while the powder material is aluminium or copper
I’m a bit confused with the lack of apparent heat in the process.. the other friction welding (without the stir) videos I’ve seen clearly show the parts heating up to cherry red. Does this process not involve the same temperatures?
Hi @pauldmann1166, great question! In conventional friction welding, the parts heat up to high temperatures, often glowing red. However, in Friction Stir Welding (FSW), the rotating tool generates sufficient heat to soften the material without reaching the same high temperatures. This allows for a solid-state weld with less visible heat.
ah yes, they made my favorite rapper: Tuparts Sekure
That's a very impressive machine.
Nothing impressive here. It's simply a classic CNC machine to which we've added our FSW welding head. 😉
15000 people were dummy.😂😂
Is there 3d stir welding? Such as the tubing on a roll cage or something like that?
In this video, there's no specific demonstration of orbital or 3D welding, but there are other applications in which we do perform it. Stay tuned for our future videos, soon we'll be demonstrating orbital welding for a tube.
There are better processes for the time it takes and outcome. Laser welding is the future. This is niche market at best
Thank you for your comment. Each welding method has its strengths: FSW is excellent for high-quality welds and challenging materials (casted, 2xxx and 7xxx aluminum), offering great mechanical integrity and perfectly leakproof seams. Laser welding is faster but comes with higher equipment costs and complexity, and poorer quality.
It's going to be interesting to see if this works better in Low Earth Orbit then traditional stick welding techniques. It appears you did Aluminium in the example, what was the tool tip made from? What is the hardest metal the method can weld?
To weld aluminum, the tool is made out of steel. It is possible to weld steel, but the tool material, cost and lifetime are main challenges. Thus, the process is more mature on softer and lower fusion point materials (copper, aluminum, brass, ...).
@@Stirweld I believe Blue Origin is using Stir Welding for some of it's tank and support structures on the New Glenn rocket where Aluminium is used, but SpaceX's use of Stainless Steel requires a more traditional arc welding process, MiG or TiG, for thier Starship and Superheavy vehicles. Vehicles assembled in orbit from lightweight materials mined in space, may be able to use arc based methods, but I wonder if Stir machinery would use less electrical power, and be less strain on Solar and Battery systems.
I developed a friction stir welding process over 14 years ago for automotive applications including sealing electronic enclosures and cooling applications for power inverters (similar to the example in this video). It was one of the most interesting projects I ever worked on.
q: how did u solve the cooling problem?
@@Patrik6920 Not sure what you mean by cooling problem. If you are asking about cooling the part during/after welding, it is not a problem as the heat is very localized to the weld area. If you are referring to the cooling application for power inverters, it was sealing a cooling chamber on an aluminum housing where the electronics were mounted. The coolant was pumped through a finned chamber where the power devices were mounted to the back side. The housing was die cast with the finned chamber and we FSW a cover over the chamber to seal it.
@@blchandl2 was refering to the tool used to produce the friction..
@@Patrik6920 We were using CPM9V for the weld tools for aluminum. I know other companies using more exotic materials for the weld tool when welding steel.
@@Patrik6920 We used CPM9V for welding aluminum. More exotic materials are used for welding steels. Some machines have the ability to run coolant into the weld tool.
Friction Stir Welding is very impressive. I subscribed and gave a 👍up.
Thank you so much for your support! We'll keep on spreading the word about this great technology. 😊
How can I do that with a hand drill?
You need several hundred pounds of down force while moving the bit through the weld path.
@@blchandl2 so about an inch (~2.5cm), then the drill bearings will also be welded.
@@Iowa599 LOL probably. It also takes several hundred pounds of lateral force to move the weld tool through the material. Take notice of the wobble as the bit is driven into the plates at the start of the video.
Yea, ditch the *noise* (some people call it "music") please
Pas besoin de parler anglais pour voir que vous êtes français ! 😂 c'est excellent c'est une vrai solution, qui peut être utile dans énormément d'usage. On pourrais même amélioré ce processus (je penses) avec une températureplus élevée, pour ne pas donner une contrainte trop forte sur la broche. Pensant que votre CN est tout d'abord d'usage classique (type usinage).
Oui, nous sommes Français et utilisons l'Anglais pour rendre accessible cette technologie au plus grand nombre. Et effectivement la machine que vous pouvez voir dans la vidéo est une machine d'usinage classique avec notre tête de soudage FSW intégrée qui permet de faire du soudage par friction malaxe, rendant votre CNC totalement hybdride !
Oui j'ai bien reconnu vos CN HAAS... bonnes machines. Est ce que vous travaillez pour des particuliers ? Pour des usagers professionnelles, voulant faire un travail à titre "personnel"...
Nous travaillons exclusivement avec des entreprises, mais si vous avez un centre d'usinage, notre technologie est compatible avec presque toutes les machines du marché. Vous pouvez nous contacter si ça vous intéresse : contact@stirweld.com
That’s insane 😳
jesus, I’ve seen what you do with stir friction welding and I want that for me
Music sucks.
Looks like it's best suited for high part count production. Making a dedicated jig for one-offs or short runs would be expensive. I'd like to see the bend test go the other way, so that the backside is put in tension. For that matter I'm curious why you didn't show the backside at all. Also looks like taking the seam to the edge is problematic.
You are right, FSW is relevant for large batches or high added-value parts. We welded in partial penetration in this video, just for easy demonstration : feel free to contact us if you want to get full penetration and successful root bending examples. The tool must plunge and rise vertically, so run-in/run-out strips can be needed for edges management on the applications that requires it.
Ditch the music please
Ditch the music please
Great video, lose the music
I don't mind it at all. Personal preference for sure
The music doesn’t belong in a video like this. This isn’t a TikTok
Please lower the music in future videos or get rid of it all together. It is hard to hear you clearly, especially with the music. That was a good demonstration... TY
Noted for next time. Thanks for your feedback.
Drillpress and old porselen sparkplugg do sane jobb i tink. Hehe
I pressed the translate to English button and it still doesn't make sense
What would be the challenges with FSW mitered tube joints, such as a bike frame in 7075? Too thin tube walls + need for 4 or 5 axis machine?
For more specific requests, such as your project, I encourage you to contact us via this link: bit.ly/3xeK06O ☺
lol. Thats not welded. This is a click bait vid.
I know it doesn't look like a weld in the traditional sense, but I can assure you that the plate is indeed welded and meets all quality control standards. Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process that uses frictional heat generated by a rotating tool to join materials without melting them. I invite you to check our playlist "Everything you need to know about basics principles of FSW" to learn more about the FSW technology: th-cam.com/play/PLwJ69okrPX7A9cc1N8O3IAMVGTOSWZLQa.html I also invite you to visit our facilities to see the process in action and check the welding quality. 😊
Interesting, but how does it work? I see no heat.
It's normal; Friction Stir Welding doesn't reach the material's melting point. It's a "cold" welding process. The temperature initiated by the rotating FSW tool is high enough to soften the aluminum but not make it liquid, allowing the material to be joined together without melting. 😉
My guess is that the pressure load is low because of the small amount of flash, but the speed at which welded at 1:09 seems to be higher than 3 mpm unless you were fastforward. I know that defect-free cross-sections have not been reported so far in aluminum FSW welding at higher weld speeds than 2 mpm and under low loads, but have you solved this problem? That would be great! It's also a lap joint, and the plate looks pretty thick. It seems like it would be hard to avoid tunnel defects, even small ones, when welding at high speeds. As one who studies FSW, the fact that you welded these conditions defect-free is a wonderful thing... I have a question. The jig beside the rotating tool at 0:53 seems to be used to support the material to prevent gaps from forming even if it deforms during welding. When welding common materials (ex:6061-T6, 5083-O) into a lap joint, does the use of that jig make a big difference in the quality of the weld? I thought that the load from the plunging of the tool is enough to cause no problems during welding, but what difference does it make? If it's only your know-how, you don't have to answer. As someone who studies FSW tool geometry, your FSW skills make me want to work for your company someday. Your video is very impressive.
Thank you for all your kind remarks and comments. At 1:09, the video you see is not modified at all; we actually weld at a speed of 4 mpm. Although the cross section still presents a minor defect, a bending test confirms that the bond is correct. We are performing this lap weld between two 2mm thick plates. A mobile clamping can be relevant even when welding common materials. It mostly depends above all on the configuration of the parts to be welded. The load applied by the FSW tool cannot hold the parts together as the material is really soft in the weld. Please contact us to further discuss 😉
Hello, my name is Geraldo. At minute 1:52, I see that the structure to be welded has some holes, perhaps made simply by a drill, what would be the reason for these holes in the structure to be welded? Is there any benefit? Also, is there any material on the function of these holes?
Hello, the little holes you see before welding are called tack-welding. It's done with the tip of the FSW tool and helps hold the cover in place for friction stir welding. Once the weld is complete, there's no more sign of these holes in the material!
Thanks for the answer
what about corrosion from disimmilar metals?
Great question! Parts designed in dissimilar materials and welded using FSW can be protected with a coating such as paint to isolate from corrosion, and by controlling environmental factors to minimize corrosive interactions.
great i wish i can join..
There's still time! We would love to see you there.
Why though?
