Ultrasonic Stir Welding
Ultrasonic Stir Welding joins large pieces of very high-strength metals such as titanium and Inconel. Because of the independent control of process elements, closed-loop temperature control can be integrated into the system so that a constant weld nugget temperature can be maintained during welding. Applications include hardware for severe environments, launch vehicles, aircraft, automobiles, bridges, and trains.
