Abstract: An additive friction stir deposition system for refractory metals is disclosed herein. The additive friction stir deposition system includes a tool assembly and an induction element. The tool assembly includes a metal shaft defining a shaft central channel, and a ceramic tip defining a tip central channel. The metal shaft and the ceramic tip are configured to interlock to prevent relative rotation therebetween. The induction element is positioned adjacent to the ceramic tip.
