These components require absolute "air tightness" and perfect welding. For this reason, the customer requested friction stir welding.

By selectively exact friction using a special welding pin, two aluminium panels are welded together almost entirely in a vacuum-tight, consistent and seamless way.Using this method, part distortion is prevented by low heat and perfect control of clamping force as well as high-precision positioning of the NC axes.
