Welding Aluminium to Steel: The Challenge

Welding aluminium to steel involves unique challenges due to the different material properties. A key issue is the accelerated wear of the FSW tool, particularly the pin. This wear not only shortens the tool’s lifespan but also increases welding costs as frequent replacements are necessary. Choosing the right welding tool is crucial to minimize wear and ensure defect-free welds. By selecting the optimal FSW tool for aluminium to steel welding, you can achieve high-quality results without unnecessary expenses.
