Maximizing longevity and efficiency with Stirweld FSW Tools for cast aluminium welding
The challenge
Cast Al/Si alloys, known for their high silicon particle content, present a significant abrasive challenge to conventional FSW tools. The roughness of these alloys often leads to accelerated tool wear, reducing the operational span of the tool to just a few meters. This wear not only shortens the lifespan of FSW tools but also increases welding costs, making it essential to choose tools designed to withstand these tough conditions.
