BYU manufacturing engineering professor Yuri Hovanski and a few of his research students discuss friction stir technology and its impact in the industry. (Anna Wilson) BYU manufacturing engineering ...
It is a thermomechanical finite element simulator that runs up to 10,000 times faster than any comparable solution currently available on the market. The tool has been validated by the National ...
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 ...
Friction stir welding (FSW) and its allied technique, friction stir processing (FSP), are solid-state methods that unite and modify metal alloys through a rotating, non-consumable tool which generates ...
TAMPA, Fla. — The Rock Island Arsenal-Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center's cutting-edge technology for 3D printing large metal components has already begun to garner recognition, winning awards ...
