Friction Stir Welding: Robotic Tool (NASA, 1/30/09)
A welding technician at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center observes a weld on the Robotic Weld Tool. This weld was “practice” for Ares I Upper Stage gore-to-gore welding.

Friction stir welding requires no blowtorches and no solder -- it literally "stirs" materials together at a molecular level using friction. Learn why this matters in YOUR life:
