Developed by British welding laboratory, TWI(The Welding Institute) in 1991, Internationally-patented new technology applied to industries since middle of 90s

Rotating tool with a profiled probe gives pressure to material. And then friction heat is generated between the tool and the material. The plasticized material by this Heat is stirred by probe and it leaves a solid phase bond between two pieces.
