Abstract

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is an exceptional technique used to join various materials which maybe either similar or dissimilar. It is a simple solid state welding procedure which uses a rotating tool for generating the heat by friction and join the metal parts. In this paper, a review was conducted on the effects of various welding parameters like welding speed, rotational speed of tool, force applied on the interface of the rotating tool shoulder and the work piece, pin profile of the tool, tilting angle of the tool etc. on mechanical properties and microstructural development of different materials joined by FSW method. In addition, the temperature distribution and material flow using different analytical softwares also described. FSW can be extensively used in aviation, marine and vehicle body construction manufacturing because of its good mechanical properties.
