FSW tools for Aluminium-Silicon welding
The challenge :
Aluminium silicon alloys contain silicon particles, which are very abrasive for tools and more particularly for the pin.
This leads to very fast wear after a few tens of weld meters.
Light casted alloys are used in context where mass saving are sought, such as automotive sector. This process is used for the manufacturing of engine blocks, heat exchangers, battery casings and wheels.
