Review Paper: Production and Microstructural Phenomena affecting Friction Stir Welding Mechanical Behaviour and Applications.
Abstract
Friction stir welding (FSW) is the fastest evolving
joining technology and the principal prospective technique for implementing
integral fuselage structure in aircraft manufacturing. The viability of FS
welds is dependent upon mechanical properties and production turnovers, which
are dependent on welding rates and tool design. Hence this review paper border
on the effect of welding parameters, tool designs on microstructure and
mechanical behaviour of friction stir welds. The microstructure and microhardnesses which were influenced by the welding rates determined
static properties, failure locations and residual stress minima and maxima. The study reviews the nature and distribution of material flow, grain structure, and precipitates in the aluminum FS welds and their effect on mechanical properties. The advances in industrial application of
Friction Stir Welds and future prospects are critical to the review.
