DAAAM INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC BOOK 2015 pp. 249-266 Chapter 22 A CRITICAL REVIEW OF FRICTION STIR WELDING PROCESS VERMA, S. M. & MISRA, J.P. Abstract: Friction stir welding (FSW) is a permanent type solid state joining process which is increasing rapidly for joining different metal alloys and non-metals in manufacturing industries especially aerospace, marine, spacecraft, automotive, etc. In present scenario the welding of metal alloys are replaced by FSW owing to its unique features over fusion welding processes, i.e. reduced porosity defect, reduced heat affected zone (HAZ), no requirement of shielding gas, ecofriendly, reduced distortion, etc. In this chapter, a critical evaluation of critical aspects of friction stir welding namely process principle, metallurgical and mechanical aspects; effect of preheating and nano-particle inclusion have been discussed. Difficulties and other issues related to FSW are also addressed to provide a guideline to global research community to carry out extensive research in this field. Key words: Solid-state welding, friction stir welding, preheating, quenching, nano- particle inclusion Authors´ data: Verma, S[hubham], M[eenu] & Misra, J[oy] P[rakash], Mechanical Engineering Department, National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra, India, [email protected].
