Abstract Scope |
Friction stir welding has long been used for hard-to-weld materials, unique welding configurations, and strength improvements over other joining technologies. With the further use of data analysis and the ability to monitor and record weld and seam data, we have the ability to drive quality decisions such as frequency of leak testing for assembled product. An example application will be presented on how friction stir welding was used to weld electric battery trays for a major automotive manufacturer and how high fidelity data acquisition drives down quality costs and improves manufacturing time. |
