| Abstract Scope |
Joining of battery cases for elcetro mobiles require high demands on the installed joining technologies. Therefore, FSW is increasingly used due to high joint quality and the mechanical properties similar to the base material. However, these properties are significantly influenced by the tool concepts. Using monolitic FSW tools high heat inputs can be achieved by comparative higher frictional surface. However, there are limitations in terms of surface quality and fatigue. With stationary shoulder tools, excellent weld seam surfaces can be produced. However, the stationary shoulder has a lower heat input compared to under consideration of the same process condition. Consequently the reduced heat input leads to restrictions regarding the welding speed and the maximum penetration depth. Thus present article deals with the application of hybrid FSW tools in industrial application, which combines monolithic and stationary shoulder tools whereby the advantages of those two variants can be concentrated. |
