2002 April, the China Aviation Industry Corporation under the auspices of Beijing University of Aeronautics Manufacturing Engineering Institute (Air 625) and the British Welding Institute (TWI) signed on FSW patent technology licensing, R & D and market development and other areas of cooperation agreements and co-founded in China R & D and friction stir welding Application Promotion Center - China FSW Center.

"China FSW Center" is the TWI region in China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), the only authorized patented friction stir welding technology partner. TWI authorized centers are responsible for friction stir welding technology in China in the technology development, engineering, and friction stir welding equipment research and development, manufacturing and sales; both centers made in China by the Plenipotentiary TWI grant and management of friction stir welding two license patented technology and for the Chinese market friction stir welding technology and supervision.

Center was established in Beijing Aeronautical Manufacturing Technology Research Institute and the British Welding Institute in friction stir welding technology, comprehensive cooperation and common development of beginning, also marks the friction stir welding technology and engineering R & D in China, the official launch of the application, which is China's development of welding technology a new milestone.

market in order to establish a flexible response mechanism, a greater degree to meet the growing domestic demand for friction stir welding technology, in September 2002, China Aviation Industry Section a group Beijing Aeronautical Manufacturing Technology Research Institute (Air 625) to "China FSW Center" as the main body of China's first incorporated in friction stir welding technology research and development and promotion of specialized companies - Beijing Saifusite technology Ltd.
