Friction Stir Welding Machines

Expand welding of new Materials

Friction Stir Welding has expanded to the realm of materials that were hitherto difficult to weld. Magnesium, Aluminium, Copper and its alloys, Titanium , thermoplastics etc. are among the materials that can be fusion welded using this technology.

Environment Friendly

Being a solid-state process and no usage of environmentally harmful materials, Friction Stir Welding is an energy efficient and environment friendly technology.There are no fumes or molten material involved in this process. ETA Technology has developed a uinique method of pre-heating the joins to further reduce the energy needs.

Better than Fusion welding

Being a Solid-state welding process, Friction Stir Welding eliminates most of the defects including porosity, solute redistribution and soldification cracking.

Minimal loss and better Join Characteristics

This technology supports a wide range of thickness and length thereby reducing any machining needs later.This is being increasingly adopted in Aerospace, Automobile and Space due to the vast array of advantages it provides.

Specifications

The machine shown on this page is capable of providing up to 20 kN axial thrust to the stir welding tool and can accommodate a job size of 350mm x 200mm x100mm (L x B x H).
We follow an Engineer-To-Order(ETO) process and hence the specification of each machine varies as desired by customer requirements.

Applications

It is useful for joining high strength aerospace aluminum alloys and other metallic alloys that are hard to weld using conventional fusion welding.
