| Abstract | Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process which is very efficient, effective and agile green manufacturing technique. FSW was first intended for aluminium alloys, but now it has found diversified usage for a variety of metals and metal-matrix composites (MMCs). This environment-friendly process causes audacious plastic deformation, homogeneous and thorough mixing of material and thermal exposure which results in significant micro structural refinement with the formation of oriented dendrites, densification and clear homogeneity across the processed zone. FSW has been employed in various high technology applications such as aerospace, automotive industry, high precision welding etc., for its intact and strong bondage. The important process parameters considered generally are the tool rotation speed, traverse speed, force and the tool geometry. The output responses typically analysed are the mechanical properties like tensile strength, hardness, tool wear, etc., and microstructure of the welded specimen. Particularly, the weldment area is normally taken to ensure the uniform distribution and orientation of metal particles. The objective of this review paper is to analyse the collection of literature on FSW process and associated optimization. Recently, a lot of researchers have shown interest in FSW and its applications. Now a days, FSW is employed in order to achieve reduced time and cost of the product and increased strength of the weld. |
