Vacuum Brazing vs Friction Stir Welding (FSW): Which Process Wins for Liquid Cold Plates?When selecting the ideal joining process for high-performance liquid cold plates, the choice often narrows down to two advanced manufacturing techniques: Vacuum Brazing and Friction Stir Welding (FSW). Friction
Friction Stir Welding or FSW is a solid phase joining process which uses a non-consumable system of mechanical forces and friction heat without melting the materials. Heat is usually generated between workpiece materials and the rotating tool by friction, which pushes a softened region close to the
