Abstract

In the last few decades, there was tremendous growth of aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMC) in aeronautical, aerospace, defense, and automotive industries due to their lightweight, high strength, and durability. Many researchers have attempted to improve the strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance of AMMC using friction stir welding (FSW). Moreover, the mechanical and microstructural characterization of FSW AMMC was extensively investigated by researchers for the process parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, tool profile, and tilt angle. However, the researchers have failed to elaborate on the corrosion, fatigue, and wear characterization of various friction stir welded AMMCs. The present review article mainly focuses on the corrosion behavior of AMMC FSW joints with the process parameters such as welding speed, feed rate, and tool material. Further, this article discusses the wear and fatigue life behavior of friction stir welded AMMC by analyzing current trends and advancements in FSW with various parameters.
