How Friction Extrusion Could Support the Future of Additive Friction Stir Deposition

Solid-state processing is changing how the aerospace, defense, energy, and advanced manufacturing sectors approach high-performance metal parts and materials. Two technologies attracting growing attention are friction extrusion (FE) and additive friction stir deposition (AFSD). Although FE and AFSD are distinct processes, FE could support the continued development of AFSD in

Why High-Volume Manufacturers Are Turning to Friction Stir Welding Production Systems

Manufacturing environments are under increasing pressure to produce more parts, maintain tighter quality standards, reduce operational downtime, and improve overall efficiency. Across industries like automotive, aerospace, electronics, and advanced manufacturing, production teams are challenged to increase throughput without sacrificing consistency or reliability. At the same time, lightweight materials such as

The Future of Spot Joining? Engineers Are Re-Evaluating Traditional Methods

Manufacturing does not change quickly. Most joining processes stay in place for years, especially in production environments built around consistency, repeatability, and proven results. Once a process is established, there has to be a good reason to replace it. That is starting to happen. Across automotive, aerospace, and other advanced
