FRICTION STIR WELDING EQUIPMENT MARKETREPORT OVERVIEW

The global friction stir welding equipment market size was anticipated to be worth USD 0.33 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 0.87 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 11.01% during the forecast period.

Friction stir welding is a solid-state joining process that uses a non-consumable tool to join two facing work pieces without melting the workpiece material. Heat is generated by friction between the rotating tool and the workpiece material, which leads to a softened region near the FSW tool. Welding is a process in which two metals are joined together to form the product of required shape and size. Friction stir welding is a type of welding process in which, the material is not melted unlike the other welding processes such as arc welding processes. Friction stir welding is used in diverse uses such as automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, and robotics. The automotive industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in different countries through the world. It depend on a non-consumable tool that swaps and drops into the interface of the work piece and then moves through it by using frictional heat that softens the material. Friction stir welding process is used for joining diverse types of materials such as magnesium alloys, stainless steel, mild steel, titanium alloys, copper alloys, and aluminum alloys. Two different metals such as magnesium alloys to aluminum can also be joined together by using friction stir welding process. With the help of decent superiority welding tool, the welding speed and quality of the weld can be improved. The material used for manufacturing the welding tool must be tough, strong, and should be able to bear high welding temperatures. The tool must have low thermal conductivity and good oxidation resistance so that heat loss can be diminished. Participating are fixing their efforts on encouraging R&D. Technological development are supporting the regional market growth.
