Why attend this webinar?

In today’s automotive industry, manufacturers are facing unprecedented pressure. Electrification, hybridization, cost reduction targets and shorter development cycles are redefining how vehicles are designed and produced. At the same time, requirements for safety, reliability and performance keep increasing, especially for critical EV components.

As traditional joining technologies struggle to meet these constraints, Friction Stir Welding is emerging as a key enabler for next-generation automotive manufacturing.

Join this exclusive Stirweld webinar to discover how FSW allows automotive OEMs and Tier suppliers to stand out in a highly pressured market, transforming technical and industrial challenges into concrete competitive advantages.

What you’ll discover:

• The 4 major manufacturing challenges currently faced by the automotive industry, with a strong focus on electric and hybrid vehicles, and how Friction Stir Welding provides robust, industrial solutions.

• Why FSW is a proven joining process for aluminum and advanced alloys, already validated in high-volume and safety-critical automotive applications.

• How FSW improves joint strength, fatigue behavior and thermal performance, while reducing production costs, inspection needs and risks of non-quality.

• Concrete automotive applications where Friction Stir Welding is already used today, such as tailor welded blanks, battery trays, bus bars, liquid cold plates for inverters, battery packs and on-board chargers, as well as spot welding alternatives for structural automotive assemblies.
