The different components of an FSW welding tool:

The shoulder

This corresponds to the upper part of the pin; it allows both softening of parts in order to be able to work them but also forging of the weld. Indeed, this tool holds the material in place and ensures its correct application.

The pin

This is the part that penetrates the material. This has a dual function, it heats and mixes the two parts. TRA-C industrie, thanks to its R&D department, carries out comprehensive studies in order to offer its customers the most suitable pin for the material to be welded as well as its configuration.
