An Overview of Friction Stir Welding (FSW): A New Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
Friction Stir Welding (FSW), being a novel process and facilitates welding various joints required for several industrial applications. It is an attractive technology for solid state material joining, contrary to conventional welding methods, having ability to produce welds with higher integrity and minimum induced distortion and residual stresses. In this paper, the operation of FSW, critical parameters, history, advantages, and limitations were discussed. Further different applications of the process are presented along with critical review of literature; finally recognized areas of research work on materials such as cubic boron nitride, mild steel on tool profiles, boundary etc., and conditions to achieve better quality welds.

Misalignment detection for friction stir welding or Enabling seam tracking for friction stir welding
This paper describes a technique for determining the position of the friction stir welding (FSW) tool with respect to the weld seam during welding. This technique is proposed for online misalignment detection or as a position estimator for in-process tracking of the weld seam for FSW.
متن کاملAnalysis and Comparison of Friction Stir Welding and Laser Assisted Friction Stir Welding of Aluminum Alloy
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process; i.e., no melting occurs. The welding process is promoted by the rotation and translation of an axis-symmetric non-consumable tool along the weld centerline. Thus, the FSW process is performed at much lower temperatures than conventional fusion welding, nevertheless it has some disadvantages. Laser Assisted Friction Stir Welding (LAFS...
متن کاملStatement of Proposed Research Characterization of Tool Wear in Friction Stir Welding of Metal Matrix Composites I. the Wear Problem/preliminary Studies
In his seminal text Friction and Wear of Materials, Ernest Rabinowicz defines wear as “the removal of material from solid surfaces as a result of mechanical action” [1]. The wear problem is incredibly important from an economic perspective; in the manufacturing industry, cost is in direct proportion to the frequency with which a particular component must be replaced. In many applications, worn ...

متن کاملExperimental Investigations on Microstructural and Mechanical Behavior of Friction Stir Welded Aluminum Matrix Composite
The welding of materials by applying Friction Stir Welding technique is a new solid-state joining technique. The main advantage of this method compared to the traditional joining process is that it minimizes problem-related to metal resolidification as the method incorporates no melting phase. In this experimental work, the effect of friction stir welding (FSW) technique on the microstructu...
