A revolutionary joining method, based on a innovative concept, opens the way for new opportunities in the light alloy world. A simple joining mechanism consisting of plunging, stirring and withdrawal! Friction Spot Joining is an entirely new joining method developed and offered by Kawasaki Heavy Industries which is used on lap joints of aluminum, magnesium and other light metals. The process is extremely simple. A cylindrical joining tool, with a small projection at the tip, known as the pin (pin tool), rotates while plunging and then withdrawing from the material creating a metallurgical...

I Both tensile strength and fatigue strength are comparable to welds created with resistance spot welding ! A donut-shaped stir zone, comprised of re-crystalized material, is formed in the periphery of the pin from the high-temperature frictional heat and the plastic flow effect. The plastic flow occurs in both the rotational and axial directions due to the rotary action and This zone is characterized by high strength and outstanding ductility, providing FSJ joint with excellent mechanical properties. The results of tensile shear strength, pealing strength, tensile shear fatigue strength,...
