Zusammenfassung:The present application relates to a friction stir welding tool insert. The tool insert comprises a stirring pin and a shoulder. The tool insert comprises a polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, PCBN, composite material with a textured surface layer on the stirring pin and/or on the shoulder. The textured surface layer comprises a pre-defined repeating pattern. The textured surface layer provides enhanced mechanical coupling between the tool insert and a workpiece. La présente invention concerne une pièce rapportée d'outil de soudage par friction-malaxage comprenant un matériau composite à base de nitrure de bore cubique polycristallin (PCBN) avec une couche de surface texturée. La couche de surface texturée comprend un motif répétitif prédéfini.
