Workshop on “Friction Stir Welding & Allied Processes” at NIT, Trichy

Friction Stir Welding & Allied Processes- NIT

National Institute of Technology (NIT), Tiruchirappalli, has declared one day workshop on " Friction Stir Welding and Allied Processes" (FSWAP-2014). The workshop is being organised by the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.

About the workshop:

Friction stir welding (FSW) was invented by The Welding Institute (TWI) in December 1991. FSW is a relatively new joining process, in which melting does not occur and joining takes place below the melting temperature of the parent metals. FSW proves to be an eco-friendly process, they produce no fumes; uses no filler material; with very little surface preparation. Recent developments are taking place in areas including FSW by double shoulder, Friction Stir Processing, Friction Stir Spot Welding, Friction Surfacing, and Friction Welding of Tube to Tube plate.

FSWAP-2014 is focused on covering principle behind joint formation during FSW, recent advancements and the appropriate applications. This workshop also provides a forum for the participants from various streams to interact, discuss and exchange their knowledge with resource persons.

Course content:

The topics covered will include the following:

*Introduction to Solid state welding

*Advancements in following processes:

Friction Stir Welding
Friction Stir Processing
Friction Stir Spot Welding
Friction Welding of Tube to Tube Plate

* Practical Session

Eligibility:

Faculty members from Technical Institutions, Research Scholars, Students and practicing engineers are eligible to attend the workshop.

Registration fees:

The registration fee Rs. 750/- per participant should be paid by DD in favor of "The Director,
NIT, Tiruchirappalli-15" and payable at SBI, NIT, Tiruchirappalli.
