FRICTION STIR WELDING WHITE PAPERS
OVERCOMING COLD PLATE MANUFACTURING CHALLENGES
Thermal Management 
English
This white paper delves into the complex world of cold plate manufacturing – an industry that continuously evolves and faces multiple challenges such as leak risks, cost management, thermal management improvement, and robustness of the plates. We discuss the significant pain points and offer innovative solutions, focusing primarily on the promising capabilities of Friction Stir Welding. Dive into the details of typical cold plates, their unique challenges, and how the application of Friction Stir Welding can revolutionize the assembly process, transforming these challenges into avenues for growth. Equip yourself with this comprehensive guide and optimize your cold plate manufacturing approach.
ALUMINIUM STIFFENED PANELS WELDED BY FSW
Stiffened panels English
Stiffened aluminium panels can be found in many industrial sectors: aeronautics, space, rail, shipbuilding, construction, automotive. Indeed, stiffened panels can be used in many key applications in these sectors: floors, side panels, tanks etc. However, one challenge is the assembly of these panels. In the past, MIG welding and riveting were the preferred methods. Nevertheless, these two techniques raise some problems, especially the mechanical strength reduction and corrosion resistance of the parts. Therefore, with the advent of friction stir welding, the problems of assembling stiffened aluminium panels are solved and we will see why through this white paper.
THERMAL MANAGEMENT – FSW LIQUID COLD PLATE
Thermal Management English
When we talk about the aeronautical, space, wind or solar energy and military industries, we immediately think of thermal management. Indeed, in each of these industries, the thermal management of equipment must be beyond reproach. For this reason, equipment such as wind turbine batteries or vehicle batteries are equipped with liquid cold plates.
But the question remains: how to integrate these liquid cold plates while reducing the overall weight of the equipment to permit more performance? Here is our answer: aluminium liquid cold plates welded by friction stir welding.
FSW X RHEOCASTING – COST OPTIMIZATION OF PRESSURIZED SYSTEMS
FSW process English
Systems and components that contains gases or liquids should be developed for EV´s and other new platforms to increase product functionality. The main issue in such systems is pressure tightness, a function that most often is problematic in the search of a high-quality with a reasonable cost.
In this white paper we examine how the cost is brought down by using integrated friction stir welding in combination with Rheocasting.
FSW WATER HEAT SINK FOR E-MOBILITY
E-mobility English
Electric and Hybrid Vehicle constructors are searching for a low cost, compact, lightweight, and efficient heat transfer solutions. Thus, the best way to meet these objectives is to use a water heat sink in electric and hybrid vehicles.
But a question remains, how to assemble these heat sinks for e-mobility at a controlled cost and with impeccable quality? In this white paper, you will learn about the market trends for electric vehicles, the cost of heat sinks and their FSW design, and the quality process of friction stir welding.
