A review of friction stir welding parameters, process and application fields

It is important to join materials for systems that require high-performance and minimize the defects may occur during this joining. Welding most common way joining but lightweight similar/ dissimilar materials, Friction Stir preferable its properties. Lightweight durable such as aluminum alloys are widely used in sectors defense industry, aerospace automotive high-speed train manufacturing. Some of these cannot be welded by conventional methods due their high thermal conductivity low melting point. In welding processes, material properties expected close possible base material. stir (FSW) a method provides below point or where process causes mechanical structure deteriorate. study, process, advantages disadvantages application fields were examined.
