Friction Stir Welding
Shoulder which creates friction heatand welding pressure
Probe which Stir the material
Sufficient downward force to maintain pressure and to create friction heat
Rotating probe provides friction heat and pressure which joins the material Sufficient downward force to maintain pressure and to create friction heat

Advantages Diverse materials: Welds a wide range of alloys, including
previously un-weldable (and possibly composite materials)
Durable joints: Provides twice the fatigue resistance of fusion welds.
Versatile welds: Welds in all positions and creates straight or complex-shape welds
Retained material properties: Minimizes material distortion
Safe operation: Does not create hazards such as welding fumes, radiation, high voltage, liquid metals, or arcing
No keyholes: Pin is retracted automatically at end of weld
Tapered-thickness weld joints: Pin maintains full penetration

Comparison with other joining processes
FSW vs Fusion Welding FSW vsRivetting » Improved Mechanical
Properties » Reduced Distortion » Reduced Defect Rate » Parent Metal Chemistry » Simplifies Dissimilar Alloy Welding » Fewer Process Variables » Eliminates Consumables » Reduces Health Hazard
» Reduced Part Count » Reduced Production Time» Reduced Defect Rates » Increase in Load Carrying Capability» Improved Fracture Performance » Eliminates Consumables » Less Operator Dependent

Disadvantages
Work pieces must be rigidly clamped
Backing bar required (except where self-reacting tool or directly opposed tools are used)
Keyhole at the end of each weld
Cannot make joints which required metal deposition (e.g. fillet welds)

Barriers for FSW
Special clamping system necessary Only for simple joint geometries (e.g. butt
joint) License required from TWI Few applications in the construction industry Corrosion protection is needed
