The Right Approach
for Your Project

About this service

Friction stir welding joins material through frictional heat and mechanical stirring. It can suit aluminium panels and fabricated assemblies where distortion and joint consistency matter. Discuss material grade, joint geometry, access and fixturing with Trinidad Welding and Marine Services Limited to establish whether this process fits your project.
