Engineers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are developing a self-fixturing process that would enable ...
A spinning tool plunges into two pieces of metal, rotating at a high rate of speed. As the tool begins to move, it softens and mixes the metal, creating a powerful weld—one that can securely join ...
A breakthrough achieved at a lab in the United States could bring friction stir welding to assembly lines. The technique involves the use of a spinning tool to generate intense levels of deformation ...
