Oak Ridge National Laboratory studying friction stir welding

摘要

Flexible hybrid friction stir welding technology is one of the four technologies that the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (www.ornl.gov) chose to improve energy efficiency in industry. The laboratory and its industry partners - Exxon Mobil Corp., ESAB Group, MegaStir Technologies and Edison Welding Institute - have received 10.5 dollars million in funding from the Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Program to study flexible hybrid friction sitr joining.
