What Is Inertia Welding? Introduction Inertia welding, also known as rotary friction welding or flywheel welding, is a solid-state welding process that joins two metal workpieces through the application of rotational and axial forces. It utilizes the principle of generating frictional heat at the joint interface to create a metallurgical …

Friction Stir Welding and Process Introduction Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding process that was developed in the 1990s. It involves the joining of metals without melting the material, and instead uses friction and pressure to create a strong bond between the two pieces. FSW has become an …
