Abstract

This paper covers a detailed study of friction stir–related processes with the focus on joining dissimilar materials. First, the effects of the process parameters and tool geometries on weld mechanical properties, defects, and weld microstructure along with the formation and growth of intermetallics are systematically reviewed. Process-structure-property relationships are discussed in details. Second, the paper summarizes different physical models that have been developed for friction stir–related process. A specific session on modeling dissimilar material joining is provided. The objective of these models is to determine the temperature profile, stress, and strain distribution along with material flow field based on the input process parameters and tool geometries. By further implementing these results into microstructure evolution and material property models, the dissimilar material weld mechanical performance can be predicted eventually. Third, recently developed friction stir variants for process improvement and joint quality enhancement are discussed. Finally, potential future research directions are recommended in conclusion.
