Applications
The marine industry was one of the first sectors to utilize friction stir welding (FSW) for commercial applications. FSW, in the marine industry, is generally used to join multiple sheets of metal together to form large panels.
FSW is a solution to the many problems the marine industry has been facing with welding aluminum such as high distortion and poor weld quality. Using friction stir welding aluminum products on ships causes a lighter structure which results in fuel savings.
