State-Of-The-Art in Heat Addition during the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) Process by FSW Tool

Abstract

Friction stir welding (FSW) is widely used to join different grades of aluminium alloy but for steel material it requires high speed rotation of FSW tool which develops high temperature on tool. This review paper is concerned with the effect of temperature in the FSW process and heat generation by the high speed of rotation on the FSW apparatus. The other parameter has also studied to show the effect on FSW tool in stir welding process. In this work different research papers and their work are presented. The variety of work on stir welding process is discussed by hypothetical analysis on past performance.
