Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is an innovative process for joining lightweight metals, especially aluminum. It is characterized by high seam quality, minimal distortion, and the ability to process a wide range of materials. Industries such as aerospace, automotive, and rail vehicle manufacturing benefit from the outstanding properties of the joints and the flexibility of the process.
The VibroCut ultrasonic tool holders induce a precise ultrasonic motion into the welding tool. This directly introduces additional energy into the joining zone, supporting material plasticization and mixing.
The ultrasonic motion significantly reduces welding forces and improves mixing in the joint zone. Oxide lines and brittle intermetallic phases are minimized, enhancing seam quality in terms of tensile strength and elongation at break. An integrated sensor system measures the ultrasonic properties and enables high-dynamic control, ensuring constant process parameters — even for large components or demanding alloys.
