Friction Stir Welding is a solid-state joining process that is both efficient as well as eco-friendly and versatile in its applications. Counted as one of the most significant developments in this age, Friction Stir Welding is used in the joining of high strength alloys which present difficulties with the conventional fusion techniques. As one most significant development as far as metal joining is concerned, Friction Stir Welding is a green technology that requires less energy as compared to conventional welding methods; no flux or gas is required hence making the Friction Stir Welding process environmentally safe. Being an efficient method, Friction Stir Welding process does not involve the use of any filler metal hence any alloy can be joined without consideration of compatibility of composition as opposed to conventional welding methods where compatibility is an issue. Although, Friction Stir welding process is also used to join composite materials which adds the extra benefits to the aerospace industries. Friction stir welding has less parameters to control during processing as compared to conventional welding processes. The main parameters are Rotational Speed, Transverse speed and pressure. Our project highlights the fundamentals of Friction Stir Welding and gives a literature review of studies that have been conducted to improve this technique with a major focus on aluminum alloy materials.
