Effect of Process Parameters on Friction Stir Welded Joints between Dissimilar Aluminum Alloys: A Review

Friction Stir Welding is a suitable solid-state joining technology to connect dissimilar materials. To produce an effective joint, phase of optimization required which leads the definition process parameters such as pin geometry, tool rotational speed, rotation direction, welding thickness sheets or tilt angle. The aim this review present complete and detailed frame main their effect on final performance friction stir welded joint in terms mechanical properties microstructure. Attention was focused particular connection between different aluminum alloys. Moreover, experimental results were correlated development applications tools can be effectively used design manufacturing finite element analyses, artificial neural networks, statistical studies. also aims point reference identify best combinations based joined.
