In this video, we will show you: Friction Stir Welding is a new technology for welding aluminium and copper. FSW is used in all areas of transport: in the automotive industry, in rail transport and in aerospace. There are other sectors where the FSW process is already used, such as energy, medicine and telecommunications.
We support you in your FSW projects, regardless of your skill level (beginner, advanced or expert).
You can trust us for your FSW tools because we are Ariane's Tier 1 supplier.
We have a catalogue of FSW tools for the materials and configurations you require. Our tools are mass produced to guarantee you the best prices.
