Friction stir welding is a solid state welding technique specifically for Aluminum and its alloys. But with the passage of time, the research in the field of FSW extended to a variety of metals including magnesium. In friction stir welding, the weld is made within the workpieces by a solid non-consumable rotating and traversing uniquely fabricated tool having a shoulder & pin which causes necessary heating for the joint. The tool used in FSW is the most important part as, initially the pin contact with specimens creates frictional heating and deformation thus softening the metal and then contact of shoulder further increases the heating and there is an expansion in the zone of softened material.
