We have further developed our established PROTO DIE process (prototypes for near-series die-cast components): since last year, we have also been offering our customers die-cast prototypes in combination with the innovative friction stir welding (FSW) process.

Example: Production of a housing for a braking resistor that converts excess braking energy into useful heat, making it ideal for electric and hybrid drives. By combining PROTO DIE with the Friction Stir Welding process, our customer achieved a space savings of over 80% while reducing the weight of the housing.

Friction stir welding, also known as FSW (Friction Stir Welding), is an innovative process. It m ...
