Detecting flaws in FSW can be a tough proposition
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is an advanced welding process that uses a third body (often called the “tool” or “pin”) to generate frictional heat between two parts to create a solid-state bond. Originally developed for thin sheet aluminum, the process has now been adapted for a variety of materials from soft metals (aluminum, copper, magnesium, lead) to […]

Friction Stir Welding at EWI
My name is James Cruz, and I’m an engineering manager here at EWI. One of the groups which I’m extremely fortunate to manage is a technology group called Friction Stir Welding (FSW). I can’t tell you the thrill I felt when I read my buddy Eric’s Facebook page last week and his status update read: […]

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) Meet The Team – Tim Stotler
Today’s FSW “Meet the Team” features Tim Stotler. Tim has been at EWI for almost as long as there’s BEEN an EWI – 26 years. Tim “grew up” on resistance and solid-state welding processes and is currently the Technology Leader for friction processes at EWI. Tim has literally been involved with the Friction Stir Welding […]
