A Critical Review for Different Grades of Aluminium Alloy by using the Friction Stir Welding

Abstract

One of the most promising methods for combining comparable and dissimilar metals is friction stir welding (FSW), a solid-state joining technique that has been employed for the previous two decades. Mechanical property changes may also occur in material via the use of Friction Stirs Processing (FSP). In spite of this progress, there are still obstacles to be overcome in the FSW and FSP processes, whether they include the joining or processing of comparable materials or different components of aluminum alloy. This document summarizes recent research on FSW that has used either an experimental or a modeling and simulation approach. The impact of the mechanical properties, temperature, and microstructure on the alloy are all discussed in detail. Future prospects for FSW and FSP are discussed to round up this study.
