Understand the future of solid-state welding with this essential reference

Techniques for material joining and surface modification are among the most important parts of engineering, particularly in structurally demanding industries like aerospace, defense, automotive, and marine manufacturing. Friction stir welding and processing (FSW/FSP) is a groundbreaking new solid-state welding and processing technology that has already begun to revolutionize these fields and many others. Still in the relatively early stages of research and development, FSW/FSP promises to be an essential area of study for engineers and designers across the manufacturing world.

Friction Stir Welding and Processing: Fundamentals to Advancements provides an accessible but systematic overview of this technology and its likely future development. Beginning with an introduction to the foundational concepts of FSW/FSP, the book surveys various friction techniques, the key technologies and equipment, testing practices, and more. The result serves as a one-stop reference for readers looking to familiarize themselves with this cutting-edge technology.

Friction Stir Welding and Processing readers will also find:

• A multinational authorial team of leaders in research and production
• Detailed discussion of topics including forming and extrusion, riveting, cladding, surface composites, and more
• Additional information on subjects like additive manufacturing and economics of production

Friction Stir Welding and Processing will be of interest to scholars, researchers, academicians, industry practitioners, government labs, libraries, and anyone interested in the area of solid-state joining and processing.
