A Short Note on the Friction Stir Welding of the Aluminum Alloys

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Advances in Materials Processing

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering ((LNME))

Abstract

Friction stir welding (FSW) is now an emerging technique used for the joining of similar and dissimilar materials. In producing efficient dissimilar joints, FSW has been used due to its various characteristics, which are effectively applied to make a joint having good strength. The available study on this technique is basically focused on the mechanical and microstructural characterization of joints. FSW is utilized to fabricate the parts made of metals like magnesium, aluminum, and their alloys. This note focuses on the utility of FSW for fabricating the aluminum alloys.
