INNOVATIVE JOINING OF CRITICAL ALUMINIUM STRUCTURES WITH THE FRICTION STIR WELDING TECHNIQUE (CASSTIR)

The project CASSTIR (started up at the end of 2006), funded by the Belgian Science Policy, is a collaboration between BWI, UCL, CEWAC and UGent. The project aimed at stimulating and introducing the innovative friction stir welding technique applied to aluminium alloys in Belgium, as well as obtaining a profound knowledge in this welding process by studying the friction stir joint characteristics into great detail.
