You’d think writing for Hackaday means we probably don’t get surprised very often by projects… but then we see something we never thought was possible — in this case, the linear friction welding of ...
To create the new iMac, Apple’s thinnest desktop yet, the designers used friction-stir welding to join the aluminum body. Unlike arc welding, the more standard way to fuse metal plates, a friction ...
A spinning tool plunges into two pieces of metal, rotating at a high rate of speed. As the tool begins to move, it softens and mixes the metal, creating a powerful weld—one that can securely join ...

US lab’s breakthrough could bring friction stir welding to car manufacturing, assembly lines
A breakthrough achieved at a lab in the United States could bring friction stir welding to assembly lines. The technique involves the use of a spinning tool to generate intense levels of deformation ...
Lockheed Martin has begun its first friction stir weld process on an Orion crew module Ground Test Article at the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, La. This ground test article will serve ...
The technique is debuting on the 2004 Mazda RX-8. Previously, resistance welding was the most feasible joining process for assembling aluminum body panels. This technique passes a large current ...
• The process is completed in a few seconds with very high reproducibility - an essential requirement for a mass production industry. Now, a new variant from the same stable of friction processes, ...
