It’s good to see that this field is growing and cultivating more and more helpful minds. I run an aluminum friction weld line in Michigan and a few years back it was tough to find more than 2-3 people who could lend their expertise.
For production operations, we use tungsten carbide tools. We’ve modified them by adding “wings” to the shoulder to help knock off excess flash the builds up on either side of the weld.
Excuse me, I am a researcher and I have an obligation to spread the truth. The aerospace industry has changed on September 22, 2020. For the first time, reactive and paramagnetic alloys of titanium and aluminum are welded using laser electromagnetism from both sides of the material simultaneously. The new technology is now legally admitted in America and Europe in 2020. This means that with the new laser electromagnetic method, civil and military aviation fuselages can be stamped in series and the new technology welds all its components robotically. The new technology builds the liquid propellant tank better than the FSW friction imaging method. The new technology places laser thermal energy and inert argon gas on the north and south sides of the material. Removal of oxygen on both sides of the material... New electromagnetic laser technology automatically welds the hull of nuclear submarines into thick titanium plates... These documentaries are misleading and appear to come from a parallel Universe where they do not know high-Telecommunications speed or fiber optic. The SLS system is obsolete because it is built using a mechanical probe, however, new technology does it efficiently using laser electromagnetism from both sides of the material... Perfect welds with controlled internal and external asymmetry. Orion, Dragon and Starliner are obsolete because they do not have the new electromagnetic laser technology. It is much better to build spaceships with automatic electromagnetism WITH THE NEW TECHNOLOGY or do it with a FSW probe that breaks down in resistant alloys and can only function precariously with aluminum. gentle. It is an honor to inform and also an obligation to spread the truth... Best regards to all... If there is any Engineer willing, I will gladly inform you of the details... Thank you very much...
Yeah but the heavy is never used. The work horse is falcon 9. Satellites only seems to get smaller. You can't send a bunch of small satellites on a big rocket as you can't place the satellites where you want them exactly when you share payload with other satellites, that's why smaller rockets is becoming more popular.
I’ve been a welder for over 50 years and this is my first encounter with stir welding. Truly amazing!
My master thesis was about Friction Stir Welding, it's amazing joining process.
I am thinking about using it in situ for an aluminium ship.
Hand tool is possible if the tool is clasped to the material perhaps?

This channel is a gold mine
Thanks for the video. It was really interesting.
Nicely explained 👍
this is fantastic!
You didn't say what the tool is tipically made of.
Vibranium!
Rotanium
Tungsten carbide would be my guess, it's one of the few materials that can take those temps, and that's what friction drill are mad of anyhow.
For production operations, we use tungsten carbide tools. We’ve modified them by adding “wings” to the shoulder to help knock off excess flash the builds up on either side of the weld.
I think I know why it has to be used on aluminum/lithium alloys.. but what are the benefits of using the alloy itself?
Flexibility?
Amazing

gotta look into new methods! Lasers or something, stir welding hs been covered long time already =)
