Abstract
Since the start of welding, fusion welding has been the key contributor to welding materials. Due to the shortcomings of fusion welding, friction stir welding emerged as an alternative to fusion welding. Aluminum and magnesium which were considered un-weldable by conventional welding processes now can be easily welded by the friction stir welding technique. Much work has been done on friction stir welding of aluminum, magnesium, and copper plates. Various welding parameters like tool rotation rate, tool traverse speed, tilt angle, and tool geometry affect the texture and mechanical properties of FSW alloys. In addition to the above parameters plunge depth also greatly affects the welding characteristics and quality. The present work addresses a review of the current understanding of the effect of plunge depth on various facets of welding of aluminum pipes especially considering the role and effects of plunge depth as a parameter affecting welding characteristics.
