Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding process used in civil engineering applications. It is a relatively new technology, developed in 1991, and is used to join two pieces of metal together without melting the base material. The process involves a rotating tool that is plunged into the joint line between two pieces of metal, creating frictional heat and plasticizing the material. This plasticized material is then stirred and forged together, creating a strong bond. FSW is a cost-effective and efficient process, and is used in a variety of civil engineering applications, such as bridge construction, building construction, and infrastructure repair. FSW is a growing market, with many companies offering FSW services and products. Some of these companies include Friction Stir Link, Friction Stir Technologies, and Friction Stir Solutions.
