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
In today’s world of ever-growing technological demands, effective thermal management has become a make-or-break factor for high-performance electronics. As power densities increase, device manufacturers must find more efficient ways to dissipate heat generated by critical components. Friction Stir W
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
Technical Differences Between FSW and Vacuum BrazingWhat is a liquid cold plate? A liquid cold plate is a device used to cool electronic equipment. In most cases, liquid cold plates are made of aluminum, but copper is also acceptable. The advantage of both materials is their high thermal conductivit
Friction stir welding abbreviated as (FSW) includes the solid state joining process which uses frictional heat created through a rotating tool that needs to join materials. The non-consumable tool, along with a shoulder and profiled probe, is plunged and rotated into the interface within the two work pieces. It then traverses with the joint line, that causing the material becomes heat and soften.
